LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami leader, Munawar Hasan Tuesday criticized the operation Rah-e Nijat as he alleged that South Waziristan operation is the fulfillment of objectives of the USA and India in Pakistan.

Earlier Munawar Hasan paid condolence visit to Wasim Akram on the demise of his wife.

Talking to the media, Hasan said that thousands of people have been displaced due to South Waziristan operation and this fight bears no fruit for people.

Hasan further expressed that many people have been spared from being exposed owing to parliament’s failure to present National Reconciliation Ordinance in the assembly.

He said that this is the time that judiciary should bring corrupt people to the dock.

Munawar Hasan has urged Governor Punjab to oppose operation in south Punjab, and Jamaat-e-Islami will support the Punjab government, if the government does so.
