HYDERABAD, Oct 23: The Nazim-i-Aala Islam-i-Jamiat-i-Tulba Pakistan, Mushtaq Ahmed Khan said that America itself was responsible for the massacre of millions of innocent people of the world and it was, therefore, not in a position to eliminate terrorism.

He was addressing a big “Defence of Islam rally” outside the Hyderabad Press Club on Tuesday.

The IJT rally had started from the Liberty Chowk, Civil Hospital, and after marching on Jacob Road, Tilak Incline, Station Road, and Lajpat Road it culminated at the local press club.

A heavy contingent of police accompanied the rally and tried to create hurdles in its path but finally gave up after a while.

Mushtaque Ahmed Khan said that the US was an “international terrorist” and its hands soaked in the blood of thousands of innocent people of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Iraq.

He said the world had seen the fate of Russia and Britain in Afghanistan and now it will witness “the destruction” of America.

He lamented that the Muslim rulers, who should have been the spokesman of the Muslim Ummah, had become the slaves of the US.

He said that it was a tragedy for Pakistan that 30 years back a general “had surrendered before the Indian army” and now another general “had laid down his arms before the US”.
