Dismiss NWFP govt and ban JI: MQM
2006-04-15
The federal government should dismiss the NWFP government for failing to maintain law and order in the province and ban the Jamaat-e-Islami because it is a “nursery for suicide bombers”, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) said on Friday. “If the president and the prime minister want to stop suicide attacks in the country, they must ban the JI,” MQM parliamentarian Kunwar Khalid Younis told reporters in Parliament House. “We also demand of the president and the prime minister that the NWFP government be dismissed because it failed to keep peace in the province,” he said.

He said JI and Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) leaders were quick to demand the removal of the Sindh governor and interior minister after the Nishtar Park bombing, but they themselves had not resigned after the suicide attack on a mourning procession in Hangu on Muharram 10. “The NWFP has become a hub of international terrorists who are at war with the law enforcement agencies and security forces, because of the inefficiency of the provincial government,” Younis said. “Similarly, the law and order situation in Balochistan is the worst ever and the MMA is sharing the government with the ruling Pakistan Muslim League (PML) in the province,” he said. “The JI is a certified international terrorist organisation and the world knows that several suicidal bombers have been arrested from houses of JI workers. The JI never condemns suicide attacks because it is involved in this practice,” he said.
