| Sami bitches about Hafiz Saeed arrest... |
| 2002-05-24 |
| Chief of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (S) Maulana Samiul Haq on Wednesday while strongly condemning the re-arrest of Amir Jammat ud Dawa, Prof Hafiz Muhammad Saeed said that move would damage the Kashmir cause. Presumably that's what it's supposed to do — something about restraining the loons from pushing the two countries into nuclear war... Talking to a leader of Jamat-ud-Dawa, Hafiz Muhammad Saeed Walid here, Maulana Samiul Haq criticised that on one hand government was initiating the process of consultations with political leadership in the wake of possible Indian attack, but on the other hand government was demoralising the Kashmir freedom fighters by taking such steps. Dunno who Walid is. One of Hafiz' sons? He maintained that arrest of Hafiz Muhammad Saeed had exposed the government Kashmir policy. It was unfortunate that at a time when India massed its troops on borders, Pakistan army was busy in helping the United States forces on its western borders to harass the masses under the pretext of operation against Al-Qaida and Taliban fugitives, he added. The government's policy is probably to try and avoid having large numbers of people vaporized. But that wouldn't make sense to a jihadi... Maulana Samiul Haq urged the political and religious parties of the country to raise their voice against the arrest of Hafiz Muhammad Saeed and put pressure of military government to release him. Oh, yes, for goodness' sake! Don't jug the leader of a major terrorist organization! |
