ISLAMABAD, April 30: The deputy parliamentary leader of Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) in the National Assembly, Hafiz Hussain Ahmed, has taken serious exception to Pakistan's support to the latest UN resolution seeking curbs on WMDs and termed it a 'death trap' for the country.
Talking to Dawn on Friday Mr Ahmed said: "We were told that by debriefing our nuclear scientists and by detaining Dr Qadeer Khan, Pakistan had came out of the US trap but the support that Islamabad had extended to the Washington-sponsored resolution at the UN has shaken that impression.
The MMA leader strongly condemned gross human rights violation by the US-led allied forces in Iraq. Quoting from the press reports about setting hunting dogs on the chained prisoners in 'Abu Gharib' prison in the suburbs of Baghdad, the MMA leader said it was the worst kind of Muslims' genocide in which on the one hand bombs were dropped on civilian population and on the other the prisoners were tortured through inhuman methods.
In a scenario when the coalition forces were trying to make an honourable exit of their troops from Iraq Islamabad's logic of considering to send its troops there was unacceptable, the MMA leader said.
On MMA's failure to induct smaller parties of the alliance in the NWFP cabinet despite repeated directives by its supreme council, Mr Ahmed said it was the fault of the parties concerned who had failed to nominate their members for induction in the cabinet.
He said MMA's supreme council would be convened soon to settle the issues relating to the election of alliance's president as well as the matter of violation of its policy by the Samiul Haq group of JUI.
