Amir Jamiat Ulema Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Moulana Fazlur Rehman on Friday said that the Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz (PML-N) was a big hurdle in the formation of a grand alliance of opposition political parties.
He said that the PML-N leadership would have to change its attitude and play the role of a responsible opposition.
Talking to media person, the JUI-F chief called on the PML-N leadership to adopt a responsible attitude and change its mindset.
He said Abdul Ghafoor Haideri would remain the Leader of the
Opposition in the Senate as the MQM has announced support of JUI-F in
Senate.
Fazl further said that the JUI-F was in contact with religious parties for the revival of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA).
Regarding the Shamsie air base, the JUI-F chief said that allowing
the US to operate at the base in the current manner was akin to
compromising the country’s sovereignty.
Replying a question, he said that he is going to participate in a
conference on Kashmir and President Zardari has not sent any plane,
adding that there is no fixed meeting with President Zardari in Britain.
He said differences between the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and
the MQM emerged after the postponement of Azad Jammu and Kashmir
elections for three seats representing the Kashmiri Diaspora in Karachi
and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
The MQM had pulled out of the coalition at the centre as well as in
Sindh after it blamed the Pakistan People’s Party-led government of
being ‘autocratic’ and its actions ‘dictatorial’.
He said that time proved that war against terrorism is to deceive
the people but the main purpose of this war is that America is fighting
for political supremacy in the region and this military campaign was
launched to posses the economy and resources of the region.
Replying a question he said that due to government weak policies
Indian Prime Minister spoke about Pakistan’s internal problems and
India is commenting on Pakistan due to failed and ineffective policies
of current government.
He said that politicians should criticize the policies but Pak army’s character should not be criticized.
Meanwhile according to a statement Chairman Kashmir Committee
Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that Kashmir dispute cannot be put in the
background in any case and Indian Prime Minister knows that Kashmir is
a disputed area, world accepted it on United Nations forum.
He said that Pakistan would not leave alone Kashmiris in difficult
times and Pakistan would keep continue their diplomatic, political and
moral help.
Responding the Indian primer statement Fazl said that India himself
made a Kashmir dispute an international problem and India taken it to
United Nations, which passed 18 resolutions and asked to conduct
elections for Kashmiris to decide their future and when India felt that
Kashmiris would not favor India so it refuse to conduct referendum.
He said that since last 60 years India is using tactics to change
Kashmiris mind and several times conduct rigged elections and many
delegations were sent for the purpose but India failed badly in its
mission.
Rehman said that the Indian government issues statements of their
own interest and the Indian Prime Minister is not aware of ground
realities and Kashmir issue is of international importance and the
Indian Prime Minister’s statement was reflective of our government’s
weak policies. SANA
