Ban on Qatar an attempt to divide Muslims

ISLAMABAD: Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah Wednesday said Qatar-Gulf crisis
Published June 14, 2017

ISLAMABAD: Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah Wednesday said Qatar-Gulf crisis was very dangerous and that the ban on Qatar was an attempt to divide the Muslims.

Expressing his point of view in the National Assembly, he spoke against the recently held Arab-Islamic-American Summit in Saudi Arabia, presided over by the US President Donald Trump.

He said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif should have taken the Parliament into confidence on his visit to Saudi Arabia.

He said he was sure that at the summit, the prime minister while representing Pakistan would have talked about the Islamic world and different issues confronting by it, including those of Yemen, Syria, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Egypt.

He said the prime minister would have also talked about Pakistan's role in the elimination of terrorism and unmatchable sacrifices it rendered in the war against terrorism but he was intentionally denied the chance.

He said at the summit, the US president did not speak about India's interference in Pakistan, particularly Balochistan and tried to prove India innocent, while at the same he indirectly tried to blame Pakistan.

He said Qatar always stood with Pakistan and supported its economy.

He regretted that at a time when other nations and countries were opening borders for each other, Muslim countries were closing these for each other.

Shah also spoke about the apprehensions expressed by the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) appointed by the Supreme Court on Panama Papers case.

He said the budget 2017-18 had been passed and his party did not create any problem for the finance minister.

Speaking on the occasion Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi while referring to the JIT report alleged that efforts were being made to run away from the inquiry and that was why hurdles were being created in JIT's way.
