KARACHI, Nov 28: Jamaat-i-Islami Secretary General Syed Munawwar Hassan has bitterly criticized Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Jamali for offering one-sided ceasefire along the line of control (LoC) in Kashmir and said that instead of Pakistan, India should have announced a ceasefire against Kashmiris living in the entire divided territory.

“Indian army is indulged in the war against innocent Kashmiris, living on both sides of LoC for the last 56 years and it is India’s, not Pakistan’s turn to silence her guns,” he said while speaking at a Eid Millan party hosted by the Islami Jamiat Talaba (IJT) for its workers here on Friday.

A large number of JI and IJT leaders and activists, including MPA Younus Barai, JI Karachi Amir Dr Merajul Huda Siddiqui, Monim Zafar Khan, Hafiz Naeemur Rehman, besides parents and relatives of martyrs, attended the party.

Paying tribute to all Muslim freedom fighters at war against alien occupants of their lands — Kashmir, Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq, he expressed his confidence that one-day, all of them would succeed in defeating the occupation forces and celebrate Eid in their free and independent homelands. — PPI
