Islamabad, 8th August, 2017: Senator Sehar Kamran (TI) has expressed serious concerns over the proscribed Jamat-ud-Dawa’s (JuD) announcement of forming a political party by the name of “Milli Muslim League”. She said as a State what message are we sending to the world if we keep allowing banned organisations to reincarnate themselves with different names by disguising themselves as political entities?
Senator Kamran said the announcement of this political party by a proscribed organisation, is the last nail in the coffin of the much propagated National Action Plan (NAP). She said the Pakistan Peoples’ Party and its leadership including Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, overtime have expressed their grave reservations in the non-implementation of the NAP especially in Punjab but all our concerns were brushed under the carpet.
Senator Sehar Kamran stated that such acts nullify our sacrifices against this war on terrorism. She said we have lost more than 70,000 people and suffered hundreds of billions of dollars’ damages but still our sacrifices have not been acknowledged globally.
The present government has failed to utilize the gains made by military operations and giving space to such factions in the political arena will only further aggravate the issue of extremism and terrorism in the country, she added.
