JAMAAT-e-Islami naib ameer Hafiz Mohammad Idris has said that the country’s internal security is in danger because of incapability, cowardice and lack of initiative on the part of the government, which is a product of the National Reconciliation Ordinance.
He was talking to different delegations at Mansoorah on Monday, said a press release. The JI leader expressed concerns over the federal government’s admission of the Pakistani citizen’s involvement in the Mumbai attacks, saying the rulers had courted a serious disaster for the country.
