LAHORE, February 14: Ameer, Jamaat-e-Islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq, has stressed upon the federal government to review its soft policy towards India in view of New Delhi’s strong reaction over US decision to sell F-16 jets to Paksitan.
Talking to different delegations at Mansoora on Sunday, he said that India had been outraged over the US sale of fighter jets to Pakistan and the US Envoy in New Delhi had been summoned to lodge formal protest over that. On the other hand, he said, the rulers in Islamabad were continuing a soft policy vis-a-vis India and wanted friendship with that country.
India, he said, was amassing arms and ammunition although she faced no threat from any outside power. He said that Pakistan had never committee aggression against India whereas India had thrust two wars on this country and had played the leading role in the creation of Bangladesh of which Indian Premier Modi had publicly confessed.
He said that Islamabad’s craze for friendship had further emboldened New Delhi. Therefore, he said, it was high time that the Pakistan government reviewed its attitude towards India, gave a befitting reply to India’s threats and stop the trade of onions and potatoes with her.
