LAHORE, Oct 8: Jamaat-i-Islami amir Qazi Husain Ahmad says his party will not tolerate American “terrorism” in tribal areas.

Speaking to the people who came to see him off at the start of the second leg of his train march at Raiwind railway station, he warned that the whole nation would come out on roads if the United States did not stop its attacks on Pakistan’s territory.

He asked the rulers to change the foreign policy and not to become a stooge of Americans.

He also warned the rulers to solve the problems of price hike, unemployment and law and order otherwise the masses would oust them from power. Terming himself a leader of Kashmiri Mujahideen, he said he would not abandon them in the need of the hour.

The JI leader claimed that (if voted to power) his party could provide justice and jobs to the masses and make society prosperous.

Naib Amir Liaquat Baloch said suicide bombers were being harboured and trained by enemies of Pakistan and Islam.
