Islamabad, Kabul must end proxies: JI Emir

Islamabad, Feb 27 (IANS) Islamabad and Kabul must create mutual harmony and end all kind of proxies because only India benefits from strained relations between the two nations, Jamaat-e-Islam emir Sirajul Haq has said.

Haq on Saturday evening said at Hyderabad Press Club that the two neighbours had no other option but peace, Dawn online reported.

About the fate of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata), he said the JI party wanted the government to implement recommendations of Sartaj Aziz-led committee, which proposed the tribal region’s merger with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The Senator advised Pakistani government to reach out to Baloch people to allay their reservations on census and embrace their leadership.

He said the JI believed that use of force never resolved any problem and negotiations should always be given preference.
