SIALKOT
Jamaat-e-Islam leader Liaqat Baloch has asked the incumbent rulers to adopt a bold stance against Indian war aggression along the Sialkot Working Boundary and Line of Control before the world community.
Addressing the party workers' convention, he urged the international community to use its complete influence to force India to ensure peace by ending the ceasefire violations and targeting the civilian population especially in the Sialkot border villages along the Sialkot Working Boundary.
He said that his party had strongly condemned Indian war aggression against Pakistan, adding that it was ready to give a wakeup call to the nation against Indian aggression and to come forward to defend every inch of the Motherland along with the armed forces of Pakistan.
He said that the time was ripe to give a very bold and befitting answer to Indian hostilities. Liaqat Baloch fully supported the political demand of probing the 2013 general elections through a judicial commission. He said that MQM was doing the politics of blackmailing, ignoring all the national and international issues only for their vested interests.
Later, Liaqat Baloch offered funeral prayers in absentia for former Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh Ameer Prof Ghulam Azam. Shabab-e-Milli President Attiqur Rehman Khan and JI Sialkot Ameer Sheikh Attiqur Rehman were also present.
