ISLAMABAD: United States may table a resolution in the UN on Pakistan's nuclear programme or on terrorism and this country must counter the possible move by mustering international support expecially from China and Russia, the head of a religio-political party said on Friday.
Addressing a press conference, the JUI (f) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman termed USA an unreliable ally and accused it of conspiring to weaken Pakistan after announcing a time-table for withdrawal from Afghanistan.
“Pressurising Pakistan to wage a war in Waziristan would lead to a litany of catastrophic repercussions and ultimately shift war from Afghanistan to Pakistan,” he said. “This is what USA wants”.
Maulana stood for showing the world a true, “steel” facade of Pakistan by devising a unified strategy.
The joint resolution passed by the APC, on the initiative of Maulana's party, also envisages a fresh look at country's foreign policy as well as reappraisal of co-operation with the international world if USA did not withdraw its allegations.
“APC and the parliamentary resolutions are last hope of the nation and now it’s up to the government how it deals with it,” he added.
Maulana expressed disappointment over non-implementation of unanimous parliamentary resolutions, which, he argued, had a bearing on national cohesion.
USA wouldn't have dared press such allegations had the parliamentary resolution been implemented, he remarked.
Maulana spoke of US's dual standards as it wanted to have reconciliation in Afghanistan, but “aggression in Pakistan”.
He said blaming Pakistan for having ties with Haqqani Network was just a beginning and likened it to the USA having played its opening card.
More such accusations are in the offing. Quetta Shura could be used any time in the future, Maulana said.
