Margalla hills only shield if Taliban reach Tarbela dam, warns Fazl
2009-04-23
[Geo News] Jamiat Ulema-I-Islam (F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman warned that Margalla hills would be the only buffer between Islamabad and Taliban if the later reached Tarbela dam. While Khwaja Asif asserted that nobody would be allowed to take over the country in the cover of Islam. Expressing his views at the National Assembly session today (Wednesday), Fazlur Rehman said that terrorism would swallow up the entire country if war against terror policy continued. Pakistan will be the looser in its own war, he feared. He said that militants would also lay down their arms if Pakistan parted ways with the terror war. Â"According to my knowledge, Taliban have seized control of Buner District too after the Swat valley,Â" Rehman said, adding that militants are moving closer to Tarbela Dam from Hazara. Â"What kind of a message was given to the world by singing deal with a banned militant outfit,Â" he questioned. The JUI-F chief further said that MQM could not give shelter to its leader Altaf Hussain how could they give refuge to anyone else.
