LAHORE, Dec 19: The United States' presence is a great threat to the entire world. The people of Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan are facing a common enemy and the only way to oust US forces is cultivation of knowledge and very close interaction among Pakistan, Iran, China and Russia.
This was mutually agreed in a meeting of Iranian media delegation with Punjab University Vice-Chancellor Prof Dr Mujahid Kamran and senior faculty members at VC office's committee room.
The Iranian delegation consisted of Hamid Golpira of Tehran Times, Kianouche Amiri of Iran News, Syed Mahdi Seyed Mosavi of Taqhrib News, Ali Raza Nakhehi of Iran Daily and Hossein Amiri of Mehr News.
Prof Kamran said Iran was a great source of inspiration and had set a standard for all the Muslim countries to take stand against the powers, who wanted to control the world. He said American people were not Pakistan's enemy but a cabal of international bankers had manipulated wars and brought governments under debt. He said the US Congress and other institutions were their agent and did not represent the aspirations of American people.
Prof Dr Hassan Askari Rizvi stressed the need to examine relationship with present-day context and geographical realities. He said both the countries could gain a lot through bilateral relations. “We should work together on how to exclude the role of external powers from the region. He said societal linkages between the two nations were weak and “we need to expand that relationship to reinforce historical relationship.”
Mr Golpira said the US, England and other countries were colonies of these rich families. He said there was a dire need of civilisational research and promotion of education in the institutes of higher learning. “Our enemies destroyed our past to control our future.” He said there must be defence on ideological fronts and stressed that Islamic world had a great threat not on the borders but inside as well.
He said they had introduced “globalisation” to control the global resources and they understood that control of Eurasia was to control the world. He stressed the need to work together for cultural defence and promote education because they were controlling minds of people.
