GUJRANWALA, July 13: The demonstration in Kabul and the attack on Pakistani embassy are the outcome of defective Afghan policy which needs to be changed.

This was stated by Jamiat Ulema-i-Pakistan’s own faction chief and MNA Sahibzada Haji Muhammad Fazal Karim while speaking at a religious conference here on Sunday.

He criticized the government for implementing US policies and warned that recognition of Israel would be dangerous for the country and Islam as well.

The JUP chief said that those who were trying to create the atmosphere conducive to the recognition of Israel were not sincere with Islam and Pakistan.

Condemning the Quetta carnage, he alleged that Indian agency ‘Raw’ was involved in the incident. He claimed that the Afghan government was favouring India instead of supporting Pakistan. Our government should lodge a strong protest with the Afghan government for anti-Pakistan demonstration and attack on its embassy in Kabul, he added.

CAUGHT: Five people were caught red-handed by a raiding team of Wapda sub-division while stealing electricity for domestic and commercial purposes on Sunday in Alipur Chattha.

The raiding team issued them heavy detection bills and removed their connections.

COMMITS SUICIDE: A woman committed suicide by setting herself on fire over some domestic issue in Baghbanpura here on Sunday.

Saima Bibi quarrelled with her husband before she took the extreme step. She died on the way to the local DHQ Hospital.
