Pakistan parties stay away from Hafiz Saeed conference


In a setback to Hafiz Saeed-promoted Defa-e-Pakistan Council (DPC), no mainstream political parties attended a conference convened by it on Saturday to mobilise support for its planned long march against the reopening of NATO supply routes to Afghanistan.

The conference was not attended by representatives of key political parties like the PML-N or Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf.

Leaders of parties like the Jamaat-e-Islami and Awami Muslim League attended the meeting.

Observers said the absence of mainstream parties at the conference indicated that they would not back the DPC’s protest against reopening of NATO supply routes.

Those who attended the DPC’s conference in Lahore included Jamaat-ud-Dawah chief Saeed, Jamaat-e-Islami head Munawar Hasan, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-S chief Sami-ul-Haq, former ISI chief Hamid Gul and Awami Muslim League president Sheikh Rashid Ahmed.

The DPC is a conglomerate of over 40 religious and extremist groups that was cobbled together last year by Saeed, the founder of the Lashkar-e-Taiba.

The DPC had invited PML-N president Nawaz Sharif, his brother Shahbaz Sharif, Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam’ chief Fazlur Rehman and Sunni Ittihad Council head Sahibzada Fazal Karim to the conference but none of them turned up. Though these leaders have opposed the reopening of the NATO supply routes, they do not want to be bracketed with the DPC, sources said.

Either way.. The 1st shows the terrorist's party to be repulsing the mainstream parties (the right reason), or the 2nd option shows the mainstream party leaders to be illiterate and idiots (if they are really going by the reason given by you.. drones etc)

Indian source lets piss on it, Indian media is pure propaganda. Hafiz Saeed is a patriot & would give his life for Pakistan.

India they just love copying US all the time. PML-N they have their own interests & they are totally corrupt bastar*s who have no love for Pakistan. They have always worked for their own interests & have always damaged Pakistan badly even today they are hurting Pakistan. Every corrupt politicians is a hero in India & when Gen. Musharraf was in power India was shitting out their dippers.
