| JI leader calls tribal disputes 'deep conspiracy' |
| 2007-04-16 |
| Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) NWFP Naib Ameer Sahibzada Haroonur Rasheed has called infighting and growing disputes among various tribes in the tribal areas a “deep conspiracy”. “General Pervez Musharraf is pleasing the US rulers by directing the Pakistan Army to fight tribesmen,” he said while addressing different gatherings at Landi Kotal, Khuga Khel and Sharifullah villages. Rasheed said the Pakistan and US armies had failed to subdue tribal people. He alleged that the government was forcing tribesmen in Khyber, Kurram and Waziristan agencies to kill each other. “The JI will foil such evil designs,” he said. The JI leader said the US government had directed Pakistani’s “puppet rulers” to completely destroy the tribal areas. He said FATA was “burning”. He said President Musharraf’s days were numbered. He held President Musharraf responsible for the destruction of Afghanistan. He claimed the army was being “misused” in the tribal areas. “General Musharraf had not visited the tribal areas during his seven-year rule,” Rasheed said, adding that Musharraf was unwilling to make amendments to the “inhuman” Frontier Crime Regulations (FCR). He urged tribesmen to unite and “snatch” their rights. JI Khyber Agency Ameer Hasan Shinwari and Zarnoor Afridi alleged that the political administration was extorting money from tribesmen. |
