TAKHTBHAI: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) General Secretary Liaquat Baloch has criticised the Awami National Party (ANP) head Asfandyar Wali Khan for uttering remarks about blasphemy law in India.

“Asfandyar has made a mockery of the Constitution. There was no need to raise an issue when it is already resolved,” he told a public meeting here Sunday. “One should be extremely careful before making any comment on such a sensitive issue and that too abroad,” he remarked.

The JI leader alleged that Pakistan People’s Party, Muttahida Qaumi Movement and ANP were involved in the incidents of target killings in Karachi. He said the rulers had crossed all the limits while implementing the US agenda. He claimed that the government had allowed the US to conduct drone attacks for the sake of dollars. “Scores of innocent tribesmen have been killed in the US drone strikes in the tribal areas,” he added.


Liaquat Baloch said the country was faced with internal and external threats due to flawed policies of the government. “The rulers are paving the way for the US to capture our natural resources,” he claimed.

“Pakistan has been turned into a battlefield at the behest of the US. Our rulers are pandering to the whims and wishes of their US masters. The release of Raymond Davis is a case in point,” he recalled.

He said the prices of daily use items had increased manifold over the past three years and the government was putting extra burden on the poor strata of the society by imposing taxes and raising the prices of petroleum products.
