LAHORE, March 23: PML-N’s Punjab president Zulfiqar Khosa has described the ‘Pakistan first of all’ slogan against the national respect and humanity under the present circumstances.

He was speaking at a Pakistan Day meeting held here on Sunday.

Mr Khosa said that all the civilized nations of the world were vehemently condemning the US aggression against Iraq. The Pakistani rulers were inducing the people to become cowards, selfish and ignore the sufferings of Iraqi people.

PML-N’s Punjab secretary-general and MNA Khwaja Saad Rafiq said that the US and its allies had violated all diplomatic, moral and humanitarian principles by invading Iraq.

He said that the US would never respond to the appeals for ending its aggression till the UN Security Council evolved a joint strategy against the war mongers.

Meanwhile, MNAs Muhammad Pervez Malik and Rana Tanvir Husain of the PML-N said in a statement that participation in the demonstrations against the US aggression was the moral responsibility of every conscientious and peace loving person.

They said that every Pakistani should condemn the expansionist designs of US President Bush.

They said that Prime Minister Zafarullah Jamali had postponed his US tour only for face saving.
