JI decries Nawaz’s statement

The Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Liaquat Baloch has criticized PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif’s words in praise of India and said this had hurt the sentiments of the people of Pakistan.

In a statement here on Monday, he said Mian Nawaz Sharif’s assertion that the Muslims and Hindus worshipped the same god reflected his ignorance about basic Islamic teachings.
India, he said, was the sworn enemy of Pakistan and had not accepted its creation by heart. The Indian media was making poisonous propaganda against this country. Indian troops were continuing unlawful occupation of Kashmir and carrying out the genocide of innocent Kashmiris.
Liaquat Baloch said the PML-N leader was also keen to expand trade ties with India although Pakistan had suffered to the tune of billions in this trade. This only showed that the former Prime Minister had eyes only on his business interests.
Castigating the PML-N assertion that India and Pakistan had one culture and heritage, Liaquat Baloch said if Mian Sahib loved the Indian culture so much, he should migrate to his ancestral village Ja’ti Umra near Amritsar in India. SANA
