US unleashed Haqqani network, Quetta Shura: Fazl

QUETTA: America was using Quetta shura and Haqqani Network to pressurise Pakistan, JUI-F Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman said.

Addressing a seminar organizer by Jamiat Lawyers Forum at MPA hostel here Sunday, Fazl said Judiciary, legislature and executive would have to discharge their obligations within their orbit. Islam is religion of Pakistani people. There is no concept of sectarianism in Constitution of Pakistan and Islam.

He said America has unleashed Haqqani Network and Quetta Shura. It has no reality. Now it was readying to pressure Pakistan for freezing its nuclear programme. It can also go to Security Council by making it an issue to move a resolution. To veto this resolution we have to make friends of confidence which we could not yet. He said American has been putting pressure on Pakistan from very beginning to destabilize it. After leaving Afghanistan she wants to create problems to destbilise the region so that it could not be stable in future. With the result it levels different allegations on Pakistan time and again.

Maulana Fazlur Rehman said leaders of all political parties and military leadership by uniting under one roof have proved solidarity. It was not implemented and America once again using various tactics to increase pressure on Pakistan. He said it was not war against terrorism but hegemonic forces were conspiring to secure highhandedness by making us their slaves.

Chairman Council of Islamic Ideology Maulana Muhammad Khan Sherani, Opposition leader in Senate Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Hydri, provincial senior minister Maulana Abdul Wasay, Presidnet Jamiat Lawyers Forum Kamran Murtaza Advocate and others also spoke on the occasion.

He said Pakistan is being caught in international agreements and conspiracy was being hatched to weaken the country in economic, political and defence sectors.
