HYDERABAD, Dec 26 The activists of Sunni Tehreek, to show solidarity and to unite whole nation on one platform, staged a 'Defence of Pakistan' rally on Friday from Hyder Chowk to the press club with participants raising slogans against Indian leaders for hurling threats.

Khalid Hassan Attari, Qari Mohammad Ali Qadri, Hafiz Jalil Ahmed and others said that some 500,000 ST workers would fight alongside their armed forces if India imposed a war on Pakistan.

They said that Indian leaders to cover their inefficiency were issuing threats to Pakistan and had deployed additional forces on boarders.

The US and Israel were not only encouraging but also supporting India as Pakistan's nuclear capability was itching them.

They said that RAW agents were responsible for terrorism in Pakistan and asked the government to prepare the nation for any eventuality and tell India to ban its extremist organisations and hand over to Pakistan, people responsible for Samjhota Express carnage.

The ST leaders urged the leaders to convene a conference of all Muslim states. They criticised the role of UN and OIC and said that both were hostage to anti-Islamic forces.
