LAHORE: Jamaat-i-Islami emir Senator Sirajul Haq has expressed concern over the growing confrontation in the Gulf and said the US and the Zionist powers are once again trying to make the Muslim world a battlefield.

In a statement issued here on Friday, he was quoted as saying that Muslims all over the world were ready to lay down their lives for the security of Makkah and Madina.

However, he said there was need for great care and caution besides serious talks.

He cautioned that like the Iran-Iraq war, the US now wanted to trigger a war between Saudi Arabia and Iran to sell its arms and ammunition besides taking over the Muslim world’s resources. He said that Pakistan should try to cool down the situation in order to foil the enemy designs.

The situation demanded that the leadership of the Muslim world sat down and resolved their issues through talks and mutual understanding, he added.
