PESHAWAR:
JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has claimed that after Pakistan’s forceful response to Indian aggression, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is facing global humiliation with his days in the political arena now being numbered.
Addressing a rally in Peshawar against India and Israel on Sunday, Fazl noted that Modi wanted to get political mileage out of the Pahalgam incident but his conspiracy to undermine Pakistan failed.
Militants killed 26 tourists in a brazen attack in the Pahalgam area of the Indian Occupied Kashmir on April 22.
India immediately blamed Pakistan for the incident and on May 7 targeted multiple locations inside Pakistan. It also unleashed drone attacks across the country on May 9 while also targeting a number of Pakistani air bases in the wee hours of May 10.
Hours after the Indian attack on airbases, the Pakistan Armed Forces launched Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoosa massive attack that stunned India, forcing it to propose a ceasefire by the evening of May 10.
Talking with reference to the operation, the JUI-F chief said Pakistan has not attacked India, rather it has only responded to the Indian aggression. He said if Modi ever makes the mistake of firing one rocket in the direction of Pakistan, the country will respond by firing 100 rockets.
“Pahalgam incident was used to undermine Pakistan. However, Modi failed in his attempt. Now his days are numbered and he now faces global humiliation,” he added.
The JUI-F chief noted that after the Pahalgam incident, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT). He said this treaty could not be suspended or annulled unilaterally.
Fazl noted that as part of the water sharing agreement, three rivers were given to India while two remained with Pakistan. “However, if the treaty is annulled, we will also respond to India’s water terrorism and take hold of all the five rivers,” he added.
According to Fazl, the recent confrontation with India had proven that India and Israel stood together. He urged the government of Pakistan to come forward in support of the people of Gaza and Palestine.
The Maulana likened Israel with a dagger which, he said, has been plunged into the heart of Arab Muslims. He said Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza in the name of a defensive war.
He said he wanted to tell the leadership of the entire Muslim world that Pakistan is not going to leave their Palestinian brothers alone. He urged the Arab countries to announce their support for Palestinians.
