LAHORE, Feb 23: The Pakistan Awami Tehrik has asked the government to immediately convene an OIC summit to announce Muslim world’s policy for the next 25 years.

Speaking at a seminar organized by the PAT on Sunday, party chief Tahirul Qadri suggested that the states having veto power in the UN Security Council should also be invited to the conference as observers.

The Muslim world should take steps to create a balance in the unipolar world, he said, urging the Pakistan government to reframe its foreign policy to become a neutral state. He regretted that country’s foreign policy had never been framed by parliament.

Stressing the need for an effective role in checking the US invasion in Iraq, he said if Washington’s aggression was not stopped now, it would take on Pakistan and other states one by one.

He said the rulers were supporting the so-called American war on terror while the US was ignoring Kashmir and Palestinian issues and wanted to create greater Israel and India.

He believed that the Arabs would not invest in the United States and the United Kingdom and the Pakistan government should step up its efforts to bring in Muslim world’s capital.

Holding Muslims responsible for the present situation of helplessness, S.M.Zafar said the war was inevitable as America wanted to achieve multiple benefits through it.

He, however, foresaw that the war would result in an end to monarchies in Muslim countries and decline of the United States.

PAT senior vice-chairman Agha Murtaza Pooya said the actual crisis facing the world was oppression of Israel and India on Palestinians and Kashmiris, respectively. He said these two along stats along with America had overpowered the United Nations and its end would be no different than that of League of Nations.

He said Muslims states themselves should convince Saddam Husain to step down to avert the impending war.
