Hafiz Saeeds Jamat- ud- Dawah, have rejected a Pakistan parliament resolution that could lead to the reopening of NATO supply routes to Afghanistan, saying it will protests against it, reports PTI. The leaders of the grouping Defa- e- Pakistan Council announced their stance at a public meeting held in the northwestern city of Peshawar on Sunday. A joint session of parliament last week adopted a resolution that could lead to the resumption of non- lethal supplies to foreign troops in Afghanistan via Pakistani territory. Saeed, for whom the US recently announced a $ 10 million bounty, told the gathering that the reopening of NATO supply routes would be akin to helping the foreign forces prolong their stay in Afghanistan.
He said, most of the parliamentarians censured the policy of military ruler Pervez Musharraf but followed in his footsteps while framing their policies. ” We oppose the parliaments decision of resuming NATO supplies and will show to the world that this act of the parliament is against the aspirations of the people of Pakistan,” he said.
