All Pakistan Conference on 27th: US resolution on Balochistan a conspiracy: DPC
By Manzoor Qadir
RAWALPINDI: Terming the US resolution on Balochistan a conspiracy to disintegrate Pakistan, Defence of Pakistan Council (DPC) leaders have decided to organise an All- Pakistan Conference in Balochistan on February 27.
Addressing a press conference after a DPC meeting, Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Sami (JUI-S) chief Maulana Samiul Haq said that a five-member DPC delegation would visit Balochistan for holding the conference, adding that at least 30 political parties would participate in it.
He alleged the government was creating hindrances to the DPC public gathering scheduled for today (Monday) at Aabpara Chowk, Islamabad.
The meeting was called to plan a strategy for a sit-in in Islamabad to protest the resumption of NATO supplies.
Samiul Haq said the government had reopened the NATO supply under pressure from the US, adding that they would not allow the government to resume the supply. He also demanded that the defence minister resign for allowing NATO supplies through Pakistan.
The DPC chief condemned the ban on the entry of council's leaders Hafiz
Saeed Ahmad and Maulana Ahmad Ludhnianvi in Islamabad. The ban would be challenged in court tomorrow (Monday), he said.
Meanwhile, the government imposed a seven-day ban on DPC leaders Ahle Sunnat wal Jamaat chief Maulana Ahmed Ludhianvi and Dr Khadim Hussain Dhillon from entering Islamabad. The move reportedly aimed at stopping these leaders from attending the DPC gathering.
Earlier, Interior Minister Rehman Malik had suspended the SHO of Margalla after police failed to stop the three leaders from making an appearance at a Miladun Nabi (PBUH) gathering in Islamabad.
Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Liaquat Baloch, Jamaatud Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed, Ejazul Haq, Gen (r) Hameed Gul, Maulana Ameer Hamza, Hafiz Abdul Ghaffar Rupari and Abdul Rauf Farooqi also attended the meeting.
