LAHORE, Sept 11: Terming increasing cooperation between India and Israel a challenge to the Muslim world, especially Pakistan, PML-Q central vice-president Mian Abdul Waheed has demanded immediate discussion on the subject in parliament.

In a statement, he said solid planning should be done to counter conspiracies of anti-Islam forces.

He said the so-called Indo-Israel alliance against terrorism was actually a league for promoting state terrorism as India wanted to learn tactics from the Israelis which the latter had been using against unarmed Palestinians.

Recalling the 1980 reports of Indo-Israel plan to attack Kahuta nuclear installations, he said the Muslim world must think that why the two countries had made public their 35-year-long secret relations.

Urging the nation to unite against the new alliance, he urged Gen Pervez Musharraf to take the parliament into confidence about defence of the country.

PML-J: PML-Jinnah president Saeed Manais has urged the government to improve relations with Arab countries keeping in view the conspiracies being collectively hatched by India and Israel.

In a statement, he said the Israeli prime minister’s Indian visit suggested that New Delhi wanted to crush the freedom movement in Kashmir like

Tel Aviv had crushed Palestinians.

He said if India launched crush-Kashmiris drive, the Pakistan government should expose the Indo-Israel conspiracy through media and its influence in the comity of nations.
