| JI for end to military operation in FATA |
| 2008-12-16 |
| Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) has asked the government to stop the ongoing military operation in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). Addressing a gathering of displaced people from Bajaur in Shero Jhangai area of Peshawar on Monday, JI leaders Sahibzada Haroonur Rashid and Zarnoor Afridi said the government should put an end to the 'pro-US policies.' They said thousands of people would join the JI march on December 18 to pressurise the government to stop NATO supplies via Pakistan. The JI leaders told the gathering that American forces wanted to reach Islamabad after subduing the people of the tribal areas. They said JI workers would never allow the US to do that. |
