HARIPUR, Nov 1: The JI’s district amir and secretary-general Difah-i-Afghanistan and Pakistan Council, Haripur, Maulana Abdul Haq, has said that the country was passing through a very critical phase in history which calls for produce and statesmanship on the part of rulers.

He was speaking to the participants of the council which met Maulana Abdullah, its president, the other day.

He criticized the government saying that the president had violated his oath and fractured the very ideology of the country by siding with the US against a Muslim country. He accused the rulers of putting the interests and sovereignty of the country at stake by becoming a stooge of that very country which had never been a true and trustworthy friend of Muslims.

He condemned the president’s remarks in which he claimed to have the support of the vast majority of the people in the country, adding that large gatherings against the airstrikes on Afghanistan, were enough prove of the anti-US feelings in Pakistan.

They also reviewed the central council’s call for a countrywide strike on November 9.
