Lord Nazir warns Nawaz against sending army to Saudi Arabia

GUJAR KHAN: Lord Nazir Ahmad has said that people and armed forces of Pakistan will defend Saudi Arabia, Makkah Makkarma and Madina Sharif in case of any danger but the present situation there is not such that Pakistani army should be sent there. He expressed these views while talking to media persons in Gujar Khan on Saturday during visit to a school. He said that the personality which is most revered in the country is Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif and the whole nation stands behind the armed forces of the country.
Lord Nazir Ahmad was warmly welcomed in Gujar Khan. While talking to journalists in the school office, Lord Nazir said that the present situation of the country is a matter of great concern. He said Yemen could not attack Saudi Arabia. He said that civil war was the internal matter of Yemen where sectarian conflict was going on and Islamic Ummah should make efforts to stop it. He said that Pakistan with Turkey and other countries should play reconciliatory role in this regard.
Lord Nazir said that they would have to play their role in this situation by keeping in mind the interests of the country and universal laws under UNO. But, he said, international media was giving information that Pakistan had made a decision which was a matter of concern.
He said that our armed forces were engaged in several fronts in the country. He said that India was bombarding in Kashmir and on Sialkot boundaries while we were fighting terrorists on Afghanistan border and anti-Pakistani forces were weakening our security in Balochistan.
He said that in such a situation it was not wise to push our army in the war of others.
Lord Nazir said that he had advised former General Musharraf not to take action in Lal Masjid and told him that what was going on in Karachi was wrong. And now the time proved that the present situation in Karachi was due to him (Gen. Musharraf), he added.
He said that it was being talked about that there were financial and personal interests of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in Saudi Arabia. He said that everybody knew that who were the owners of palace and who were running business of transport and scrape and it was feared that a wrong decision should not be taken.
Lord Nazir said that he warned Nawaz Sharif that he would be responsible for civil war if it erupted in the country due to his wrong decision and the country could not bear it.
While answering the questions of journalists he said that he had visited Iran two times and met Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and he told him that the people of your country should respect emotions of other people.
While answering a question he said that Pakistan should hand over two accused of Imran Farooq case to Britain so that judgement could be announced in this case. He said that he knew that where these two accused were and he would tell this at an appropriate time.
Lord Nazir said that nobody should have any concern about the death sentences to terrorists and this was happening everywhere including US and other countries. He said that European Union should not interfere in the internal matters of Pakistan in this regard.
He said that the MQM man arrested in money laundering case was not the citizen of Pakistan. He said that arrested person had spread baseless propaganda against him when I talked about Pakistan. He said this person was taking keen interest in Imran Farooq murder case and he wrote letters to 650 members of parliament against me but God had exposed him now and everybody knew that he was the front man of MQM chief Altaf Hussain.
Later Lord Nazir visited adjoining town Dhok Mirpurian and expressed condolences on the sad demise of the father of PML-N leader of Britain DA Khan. The people of the area praised Lord Nazir for rendering services for Islamic world and taking bold decision for Pakistan. Lord Nazir eulogized Nawaz Sharif for forming judicial commission to probe electoral rigging and said that it would help strengthen democracy and bring economic prosperity in the country.
