The Pakistani government should support the peaceful movement of Arab masses against the dictatorship in their respective countries.
In a special interview, Ahmed Askar, a Syrian national and
Coordinator of the Arab-African movement against the dictators said
that the Arab students in Pakistan will hold a protest demo in front of
the Parliament House on Friday (today) to highlight the brutalities of
Syrian and Libyan dictators on their masses.
“The purpose of the demo is to create awareness in Pakistani people
about brutalities of dictatorships in Arab countries and pressurize the
Foreign Ministry for not supporting of dictatorships. Arab peoples are
effected party and the rulers are offenders”, he said.
“Pakistani people should support our struggle for democracy as like
they enjoying democracy in the country. Now Arabs have been stood up
for their rights against the rules and want change, the time is not far
away when they success to achieve their goal”, the activist said.
He said that the people of Arab were succeeded against dictators and
monarchs in two countries and would succeed in three countries during
the next six months, adding that Syrian President Basharul Asad has
killed thousands of people in past three months.
He said that due to the non-interest of western media in the
movement the international community is unaware of the real situation.
He said that the Arab masses love with Pakistan and expect that
Pakistan would play such role which it had played during the 1967 Arab
Israel war.
He said that the movement which was started from Tunisia has been
succeeded in Egypt also and would be succeeded in Libya, Yemen and
Syria in next six months.
He said that he doesn’t see dictatorial era in Syria therefore
Pakistani government should focus on future and support people of Arab
instead of dictators. Arab peoples love Pakistan and hope that as a big
country, it will play its due role for stopping brutalities by Arab
dictators.
Aksar stated that the Arabs want that they elect their prime
ministers and presidents instead of Kings and dictators. It is
lamenting that US and European countries are supporting the struggle
but Muslim countries including Pakistani government are silent.
“Syrian brutal regime sharply escalated its already deadly campaign
to crush the uprising all over the country by sending troops backed by
tanks, snipers and knife-wielding security forces into the peaceful
cities where the rebellion continues. Up to the day more than 3000
peaceful protesters killed in Syria. About 10,000 wounded, more than
12000 were arrested and about 6,000 were missed in the last two
months”, he said.
Askar said that Syrian economy was effecting from the uprising but
the nation is ready for paying any sacrifice for democracy in the
country. SANA
