KARACHI, May 28: The youths of Karachi are impatiently waiting for a call of Jehad to fight a decisive battle against India and no nation can beat Pakistanis as they who are ready to sacrifice their life for their motherland, said Nazim Karachi Naimatullah Khan.

He was speaking at a rally, organized by the city government, on Tuesday. The rally was led by Nazim Naimatullah Khan and Naib Nazim Tariq Hasan participated in by people from all walks of life, including students. DCO Shafiqur Rehman Paracha, Town Nazims, EDOs and other officers of the city government also took part in the rally.

Naimatullah Khan warned India of dire consequences if it continued with its aggressive posture and said pride of India, including Red Fort and Taj Mahal, were built by the Muslims and in case of war, Pakistani flag will fly over the Red Fort.

Regarding Kashmir, he said, it was our national issue and the nation would not compromise over it, while the Indian army had seen its humiliation repeatedly at the hands of a handful freedom-fighters.

“Indian leadership must keep this in mind that the Pakistanis and the valiant forces of the country would give a befitting reply to India.”

“We believe that Pakistan has the blessings of the Almighty Allah because it is the only Muslim country formed in name of Islam.”

He lauded President General Pervaiz Musharraf who is trying his level best to avert conflict.

The former Mayor of Karachi and a worker of Independence movement Yousaf Har-oon was also present on the stage and Nazim lauded his contribution for Pakistan and Karachi.

Naib Nazim Tariq Hasan praised the Karachiites for holding the first such rally in the country.

He said Karachi is mini-Pakistan where people from all parts of country reside.

“This large rally is a message to India and all other countries conspiring against Pakistan that whole of the nation is united to face any aggression.

The rally was held around the mausoleum of the Quaid-i-Azam, where a number of

social groups belonging to minorities and lawyers attended. —PPI
