Cartoons a plot to divide East and West: Ghinwa
 PESHAWAR: Speakers at a conference said that the publication of caricatures of Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was an international plot designed by imperialist America to weaken the strong Muslim states by driving a wedge between the West and the East. They urged workers, peasants and labourers across the world to unite and stand up to imperialist forces led by the US and prevent them from achieving their nefarious designs.
The speakers expressed these views at an Anti-Imperialist Conference organised by Pakistan Mazdoor Kissan Party at Nishtar Hall, Peshawar. Speaking to peasants and workers who had come from far-flung areas of the province, Ghinwa Bhutto, chairman Pakistan Peoples PartyShaheed Bhutto, said that the publication of cartoons was Americas plot aimed at isolating the people of the East from the West to achieve its objectives. Our real foes are the Americans and the Jewish lobby that controls the US and the western media particularly in Scandinavian countries, said Ms Bhutto, widow of Mir Murtaza Bhutto. She said that the people from the west always sided with the people from the east, particularly on the Iraq war, which the western people opposed, and if both the East and the West united, imperialist America would have no place in the world. The imperialists (Americans) and the Jewish lobby plotted the cartoon drama to isolate us, he said.
