QUETTA, Aug 25: MMA provincial chief Maulana Mohammad Khan Sherani MNA has accused the American CIA of planning bloodshed in Afghanistan in collusion with local intelligence agencies in the name of the Taliban.
Speaking at a Jamiat Tulaba-i-Islam convention and a public meeting at Qila Saifullah, about 185km from here on Saturday, Maulana Sherani said any attempt to attack Iran in the garb of anti-terror war would be resisted.
On the occasion, the MMA leader also advised supporters of the religious parties alliance not to dub every murderer as mujahid or any bloodbath a jihad.
The MMA leader alleged the US was trying to divide Afghanistan along the ethnic lines by pitting Pakthuns against the Persian-speaking people. He said the US also planned to attack Iran on one pretext or the other and maintained that cooperation between the intelligence agencies of Islamabad and Washington was not a good omen for Muslims in this region.
Maulana Sherani said hidden forces tried to create misunderstandings between major Muslim sects in Quetta by organizing terrorist attacks on the followers of a particular sect but the farsightedness of Ulema foiled the conspiracy.
About the prevailing political situation of the country, Maulana Sherani said the MMA would never accept the LFO as part of the Constitution, as parliament alone had the right to amend the Constitution.
He supported resolution of the Kashmir issue through dialogue, emphasizing that though some quarters were opposed to settlement of this problem by negotiations, ultimately it had to be decided by talks.
Maulana Sherani also opposed recognition of Israel by the Pakistan government.
Balochistan Assembly Speaker Jamal Shah Kakar, provincial minister Maulana Faizullah and others also spoke on the occasion.
