KARACHI, Jan 5: Pakistani politicians and rulers instead of regretting over the execution of Saddam Hussain should learn a lesson from oppressive Shia ruler Raza Shah Pehlavi in Iran and Sunni tyrant Saddam Hussain in Iraq.

These views were expressed by Jafria Organisation Sindh chapter President Abu Raza while speaking at a gathering in Pehlwan Goth in Gulistan-i-Jauhar.

He said the US only pursued her interest everywhere and Muslim rulers played the role of area SHOs in their country.

He said the government in Iraq did not represent Shia but ruled by a puppet government like that in Afghanistan as such there was no justification to target Shia for the execution of Saddam Hussain.

It was a conspiracy to trigger Shia-Sunni riots, he added and pointed out that Imam Khomeini had always warned Muslims against the US and its intentions.
