Jamaat-e-Islami ameer Syed Munawar Hasan has strongly condemned the NATO forces attack on Pakistani post on Pak-Afghan border and warned that NATO seemed bent upon thrusting its lost Afghan war on Pakistan.

In a statement on Wednesday, he said the NATO attack was not accidental but a calculated and planned move to target Pakistan so as to hide its failure in Afghanistan. The violation of the Pakistan territory indicated that the US was planning to push the war inside Pakistan.

He said had Pakistan pulled out of the US war the US forces could not have dared to carry out this attack. He said the armed forces were the custodian of the Pakistani territory and if the US and its allies did not change their nefarious designs, the Pakistani nation would stand shoulder to shoulder with its armed forces and frustrate enemy’s unholy designs.

Syed Munawar Hasan said that instead of acknowledging Pakistan huge sacrifices in the so-called war on terror, the US was now branding Pakistani institutions as terrorists. Pakistan, he said, had incurred loss of 70 billion dollars in this war besides losing thousands of precious lives. However, the US administration was blaming Pakistani institutions for its own failure. On one hand, innocent Pakistanis were being killed in drone attacks and on the other hand, people were falling victim to terrorist activities by Blackwater and other US and Indian agencies, he said, adding that now the US and NATO forces had launched a direct attack on the Pakistan armed forces.

In such a situation, he said it was time that the government and the armed forces reviewed their strategy and announced pulling out of the US war.
