Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq, has said that US withdrawal from Afghanistan and a lasting peace there were the need of Pakistan but the country should not become party to any US game in this respect.
Addressing the participants of the leadership workshop of JI Lahore at Mansoora, he said that the Pakistani rulers had been trusting the US but it had always betrayed them, abandoned this country in the hour of difficulty and even tried to create problems for us.
He said that the Prime Minister’s visit would be a failure if he was unable to secure the release of Dr Aafia Sidiqui. He further said that if the Prime Minister had consulted the national leadership prior to his visit, he would have gained greater respect.
Continuing, the JI chief said that the government had failed within a year and its image had been hurt. He said that at present, the entire system was shaky and could collapse any moment. He said that those who had brought the present rulers had realized that these people could not deliver. Therefore, their chapter was going to be closed soon.—INP
