New Delhi’s ban on international aid for quake victims in Kashmir shows that India pursues anti Muslim polices, said Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Qazi Hussain Ahmed on Sunday. Qazi expressed grief over the loss of life and property in Kashmir and said that India’s cold attitude towards victims in Held Kashmir negated its claims about Kashmir being an integral part of India. He said that New Delhi was making Kashmiris suffer because of their sentimental attachment to Pakistan. The JI chief appealed to people to help Kashmiris and said that people should donate to the Al-Khidmat Foundation to assist victims in Kashmir.
Regarding the president’s comment about JI’s popularity, he said that President General Pervez Musharraf was using his ‘rigged victory’ in the local council elections to increase his popularity. The president was exploiting a natural calamity to promote his politics, Qazi said, adding that the president was going against Pakistan’s policies by opening the line of control (LoC) and recognizing Israel. He said the president was busy assessing religious parties at a time when the country needed unity in its ranks. |
