CHITRAL (The News): Accusing the government of massive corruption, Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Syed Munawar Hassan Monday said the Pakistan People’s Party-led setup was promoting and serving US interests in the country.
“The coalition partners including the PPP, MQM, ANP and JUI-F are implementing pro-US and anti-Islam policies. They have put the country’s solidarity and integrity at stake just to prolong their stay in power,” the JI leader told a public gathering here.
JI leaders Senator Prof Muhammad Ibrahim, Sahibzada Haroon Rasheed, Maulana Abdul Akbar Chitrali and Maulana Ghulam Muhammad also addressed the gathering.
The JI chief claimed that US was trying to take hold of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons by creating chaos and lawlessness in the country.
“Innocent people were being killed in US drone attacks and bomb blasts. The rulers were helping the US in achieving its agenda by not condemning the killing of innocent people in tribal areas,” Munawar Hassan said. The JI leader added that the rulers must shun the pro-US policies if they wanted to curb lawlessness and violence in the country.
Munawar Hassan came down hard on the JUI-F for joining the government, which he said was serving the US interests in the country. “We tried our best to reunite the religious parties against the pro-US policies, but the JUI-F was not ready to sacrifice power,” he said.
