RECORDER REPORT

LAHORE: The Milli Yakjehti Council (MYC) has condemned the assassination of Iran’s top general on the orders of US President Donald Trump and declared the American act as an attack on the entire Muslim world.

Leaders of 26 religious parties issued this statement during the MYC meeting held at Jamaat-e-Islami headquarters Mansoora on Monday. Religious and political parties noted that the attack was continuation of Washington’s pro-terrorism policies and proof of its hostility against Muslim nations.

The meeting through a joint declaration demanded immediate withdrawal of the US forces from Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and other countries and end of Yemen war.

Expressing concern over the Kashmir policy of the government, the MYC said the rulers deliberately abandoned the cause, allowing India to tighten its grip in the held region. It demanded the international community to take action against the blatant human rights violations in the Indian held Kashmir, saying the Kashmirs be allowed to exercise their right to self determination granted to them by the UNO through different resolutions.

The meeting also criticized the government for skipping the Malaysian summit, stating the prime minister lost trust of the friendly states through his act. The PTI government, it stated, not only failed to develop an independent foreign policy but also proved its domestic policies as flawed.
