PESHAWAR: Former head of the Jamaat-e-Islami, Qazi Hussain Ahmed said the government must act according to the decisions made in the All Parties Conference, DawnNews reported on Sunday.

He also warned government against an army operation in Waziristan and said that his party will launch strong protests if such an operation is conducted.

Speaking to an anti-US rally in Peshawar, he said that the government should act upon the recommendations of the APC and distance itself from US policies.

Qazi Hussain said that the whole nation will come out on to the streets if an operation were launched Waziristan. He said that the government had pledged during the APC that it will not launch any new military operations in Waziristan but after the recent visit of Hilary Clinton, it seems as if the government was thinking otherwise.
