LANDIKOTAL: The Jamaat-e-Islami former chief Qazi Hussain Ahmad has said that they will mobilize people from Karachi to Khyber if the Nato supply restored.

While speaking to public gatherings in the far-flung village Loey Shalman in Landikotal and in Mulagori village in Jamrud subdivisions in Khyber agency Qazi Hussain Ahmad said that PPP-led government was playing with the sentiments of the Pakistani citizens. He warned that if the Nato supply were restored JI would mobilize the nation to stop it from Khyber to Karachi.  He said that US government was interested to strengthen India in this region to create problems for both Pakistan and China, adding that it was in the larger national interests to come out of the US-led so-called war on terror which has suffered extensively the Pakistan’s economy.  Qazi Hussain Ahmad said that the rulers were responsible for the backwardness and exploitation of the tribal people. He said that military operations should be stopped in Bara as well as in other parts of Fata. He regretted that US jet fighters were busy for two hours at Salala in Mohmand Agency killing the Pakistani troops but our government and army were sleeping to give any befitting reply to the US aggression from across the border. 

       Qazi urged the tribesmen to support honest and sincere leaders in the upcoming elections so that their interests could be served and their problems would be resolved. JI KPK provincial chief senator Professor Ibrahim said on the occasion that military operations had deteriorated the situation in the tribal regions that is why he asked the rulers to halt military operations in Fata.  Senator Ibrahim said that Pakistan had lost  more than any other in the war on terror in the last ten years, adding that former army chief Pervez Musharraf had supported  the US action in Afghanistan which had very negative effects on the social and economic sectors in Pakistan. He forecast that US troops would leave Afghanistan as they have been defeated in Afghanistan.  JI Fata chief Haroon Rasheed and Zarnoor Afridi also spoke on the occasion.
