Peshawar:
Ji chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman has told Kabul that India can never be a well-to-do by Afghans, and that Afghan territory must never be allowed to be used against Pakistan.
“I want to tell the Afghan government that India can never be your friend. In difficult times India will not stand with you – it will celebrate,” said Naeem while approaching a rally in Peshawar on Sunday.
Afghan forces on Saturday night opened fire in several places along the border-inclusive Angoor Adda, Bajaur, Kurram, DIR and Chitral areas in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Zhob District in Balochistan Province.
The Pakistani army responded quickly and vigorously, and its retaliatory action resulted in death of 200 Taliban and Tehreek-E-Taliban (TTP) operatives. Twenty -three soldiers from the Pakistani army embraced martyrdom during the clashes. The attack from the Afghan side came at a time when Afghanistan’s Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi was on an official visit to India.
With reference to the confrontation, Naeem urged the need to immediately restore peace and mutual trust between the two countries. He also appealed to Afghanistan not to let its land be used against Pakistan and called for a common action plan against terrorism.
The JI chief called on both the Pakistani and Afghan governments to immediately start talking for peace. He said that hearts from the people of the two countries merged, but errors in the strategy have worsened the situation. “Both countries should solve their problems through negotiations. We should not fight between us,” he said.
Hafiz Naeem also criticized strongly domestic policy and management system. He said for the past 35 years that Power has rested on the establishment, which should have recognized his failures and transferred authority to politicians.
He argued that the current system should change and that ji is the only real power capable of creating a revolution. “We will begin the process of changing the system from (Lahores) Minar-E-Pakistan,” he told the participants.
He called the bureaucracy a legacy of the British era and said its incorrect application has produced financial injustices. “Bank balances and properties for bureaucrats and government officials have been built on our backs on our pockets,” he said.
He also questioned the authority of the judiciary and said that courts have become powerless after the 26th constitutional amendment.
Naeem also criticized the indifference of the international community to Palestinian disorder. He said that because Muslim and Arab states are weak, Israel kills Muslims.
“We are an ideological nation – we will never acknowledge Israel.” He appealed to the nation to remain united and to take a clear attitude towards the recognition of Israel.
