Waqas 48 Posted May 21, 2009 ISLAMABAD: Former Amir of Jamaat-e-Islami Qazi Hussain Ahmad has said that the ongoing military operation in Swat is the replay of Lal Masjid military operation. Addressing a press conference at a protest camp held against the military operation in Malakand division here on Wednesday, he said neither Taliban nor Sufi Mohammad but hundreds have been killed and thousands made homeless. "The United States wants to occupy our nuclear assets by marginalizing the Taliban issue and drone attacks are being carried out with the government’s consent", he pointed out. He regretted the role of Supreme Court for not taking any notice of the Swat operation. JI leader said that more than 2 million people have been displaced as a consequence of the military operation while thousands still detained at their homes. He said that people in Mingora, Kanju Town, Charbai, Bahrain, Madin and Kalam are appealing the government by contacting us to make relaxation in curfew so that we could flee the area. The areas have been without water, power, drugs and other items for the last eleven days and people are out of senses due to shortage of food items, Qazi said, adding, hundreds of houses have been destroyed in the operation. Criticizing the army, Qazi said the security forces killed 17 students in Pir Baba areas while they were playing cricket while four students were killed when they coming back from paper. He said that the Swat operation is the action replay of Lal Masjid operation and the only difference is that large numbers of innocent people are being killed in Swat, adding, the target of operation is not Taliban or Sufi Mohammad but the poor and innocent people. "It is not correct to target the whole population for the pursuance of few terrorists and even the Indian forces never adopted such measures in occupied Kashmir", he observed. "Taliban could never occupy Islamabad", Qazi said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
