JI chief flays government for foreign policy failures on Kashmir issue

Jamaat-e-Islami chief Siraj-ul-Haq has said that India is earning the sympathies of the world through false and fabricated propaganda while Pakistan failed in convincing the world about its just stance on Kashmir issue and on recent developments taking place in Occupied Kashmir.
Talking to reporters here on Thursday after attending the joint session of the Parliament, he termed the cancellation of the SAARC conference as a failure of the government and said efforts are afoot to cover it up. He said the US President Obama's skipping the Kashmir issue in his address at the UN General Assembly was an ample proof that the government had failed in highlighting the issue on the foreign front.
On one hand India was influencing the world opinion by talking nonsense and Uri like dramas but on the other hand, the Foreign Ministry in Islamabad only had a long list of failure to its credit, he lamented. The JI chief said it was government's practice to summon the Parliament Session but it did not answer most of the questions of the members.
He counselled the government to have the courage to tolerate criticism and also learn the art of apologizing or keeping silent on its failures instead of showing stubbornness.
Siraj-ul-Haq said that the large cache of arms and ammunitions seized in Karachi were enough to destroy the entire port city. He said Karachi was the economic engine of the country and any attempt to shut down the engine or seizing it was tantamount to seizing the whole country.
He demanded of the government to explain who had brought these arms and from where, and also to explain if the government agencies and security institutions were asleep when the arms were being transported. He said the haul of such a big cache of arms and ammunition made it clear that still there were several underground terrorist organisations in Karachi which played with the national security by unleashing Shia-Sunni clashes. He said the government would have to answer what were the objective of those who had bought these arms and ammunition.
