Maulana Fazlur RehmanDeobandi holy man, known as
Mullah Dieselduring the war against the Soviets, his sympathies for the Taliban have never been tempered by honesty ...
said on Friday that the United States might move a resolution in the UN against Pakistain on its nuclear programme or terrorism and the country should counter the possible move by mustering international support, especially from China and Russia.
Addressing a presser, he termed the US an unreliable ally and accused it of conspiring to weaken Pakistain after announcing a timetable for withdrawal of its troops from Afghanistan.
"Pressurising Pakistain to wage a war in Wazoo would lead to a series of catastrophic repercussions and eventually shift the war from Afghanistan to Pakistain. This is what the US wants," he said.
The JUI-F chief said the joint resolution adopted at the all-party conference had been proposed by the JUI-F, adding that it envisaged a fresh look at the country's foreign policy as well as a reappraisal of cooperation with international powers if the US did not withdraw its recent allegations.
"The APC and parliament's resolutions are the last hope of the nation and now it's up to the government to deal with the situation."
The maulana said he had been disappointed by non-implementation of resolutions unanimously adopted by parliament, adding that it had a bearing on national cohesion.
He said the US wouldn't have dared to level such allegations if the resolutions had been implemented.
He accused the US of exercising double standards by going for reconciliation in Afghanistan but "aggression in Pakistain".
He said blaming Pakistain for having ties with the Haqqani network was just the beginning and the US had played its first card.
Maulana Fazl said more such accusations were in the offing and the issue of 'Quetta shura' could also be raised anytime.
