KARACHI: Chief of Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) Munawar Hasan on Tuesday announced he will soon start a train march to protest the ongoing military operation in Waziristan.

Munawar Hasan said the presence of US forces in neighbouring Afghanistan was creating problems inside Pakistan. He said US forces should leave the region immediately. 

Speaking to reporters in Karachi, the JI chief said the present government was following Pervez Musharraf's policies.

On the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO), Hasan said the government was trying with its tooth and nail to protect the controversial ordinance.

Munawar said the war against terrorism was actually a war against Islam. He charged that the Pakistan army was being dictated by Washington. — DawnNews
