JuD warns India against striking Pakistan

ISLAMABAD: Ratcheting up the rhetoric just ahead of the Foreign Secretary-level talks between India and Pakistan in Islamabad later this week, the Jama'at-ud-Da'wah on Monday warned India against striking Pakistan and demanded that those responsible for the explosion in the Samjhauta Express be handed over to Islamabad.

These were some of the salient demands made by the JuD in a declaration issued at the end of its conference in Karachi on `Defence of Islam and Pakistan's Stability' on Monday.

According to local media reports, the declaration also called for declaring the U.S. an enemy of Pakistan and warned the federal government against releasing Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh who is facing a death sentence here.

Maintaining that the situation in Pakistan was not as bad as was made out by the Western media,

The JuD leaders praised al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden and were quoted as describing the U.S., Israel and India as a “satanic trinity.”
