Fahim for end to bloodshed in Iraq
ISLAMABAD, April 10: Makhdoom Amin Fahim, President of People’s Party Parliamentarian called for end to killings, lootings and humanitarian disaster in Iraq.
In a statement issued by the PPP media cell here on Thursday, Mr Fahim said: “Now that the avowed objective of the US of regime change in Iraq has apparently been achieved and Saddam government has collapsed there is a need for utmost caution and care in handling the post-war situation in Iraq.
“The reports of widespread killings and lootings in Baghdad, revenge killings and the lawlessness in Basra are ominous trends and must be curbed. It would be most unfortunate that a war fought with the objective of ridding the people of Iraq from alleged atrocities of Saddam ended up in even more miseries and sufferings of their people.
“It is of crucial importance that a humanitarian disaster in the wake of the war is avoided,” the PPPP parliamentary leader in the National Assembly said.
“The territorial integrity of Iraq must also be preserved. Any attempt to apportion Iraq or impose an external regime to the exclusion of Iraqi people would boomerang and destabilize the region,” he warned.—Reporter
