Pakistani political parties warn against sectarianism in country

The APC on the subject of 'Sectarianism, poison for Pakistan' was summoned by the 'Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen' (MWM).

Talking to participants of the conference, MWM Secretary-General Raja Nasir Abbas said that the centre of global power is in Asia and the United States, United Kingdom and their allies could not stand it.

To avert this shift in power, these countries want to push Pakistan and other possible beneficiaries into war.

“The terrorism fueled by the US and its allies has rocked Pakistan. Their agents are instigating sectarianism in the country to achieve goals for their handlers,” Abbas accused, asking political parties to join hands in fighting against the country’s enemies.

“A strong central government is inevitable to eliminate takfiriyat [labeling others as infidels] from the country,” Abbas commented.

Mentioning the strategic importance of Parachinar where over 100 people were recently killed and hundreds were wounded in twin bomb blasts by terrorists, he said that the area was the frontline in the defense of the country.

“Parachinar is facing threats from terrorist organisations like Daesh and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi. If Parachinar weakens, then the entry of Daesh to Pakistan cannot be stopped,” he remarked, saying that the country needs to think every act of terrorism is on the nation and not on a particular group or community.

Representatives from Pakistan Peoples Party, Muttahida Qaumi Movement, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Pak Sarzameen Party, Jamat-e-Islami, Jamiat Ulema Pakistan (Noorani), Jamiat Ulema Islam, Sunni Tehrik and others attended the conference.
