Press Release
End of US presence in Pakistan, End of terrorism Seeking US help to Eliminate Terrorism is Treachery to Martyrs of Peshawar

On Thursday 18 December, the Interior Ministry contacted the US embassy and asked to provide experts in the field of security issues for South Asia so they can help the committee comprising of all parliamentary parties, which has been assigned to formulate strategy to fight terrorism.

Every Muslim in Pakistan is aware of the fact that America directly takes benefit from terrorism in the country. After every big terrorist activity in the country, traitors in the political and military leadership never resign or accept their failure to protect the people. Rather, they exploit these incidents and formulate draconian laws like the Pakistan Protection Act to suppress every voice raised for Islam, no matter how peaceful. They initiate new operations to kill the Mujahideen who fight American forces in Afghanistan. But the Muslims of this region refuse to accept American servitude in any case. Because of this the US conducts terrorist activities through the C.I.A. and the Raymond Davis Network, while the traitors in the political and military leadership facilitate the opportunity for them to roam freely around sensitive military installations and in the tribal regions, recruiting agents and using them for the execution of their evil plans. On 21st February 2011, US paper The New York Times quoted a senior official in the Punjab police saying, "Davis was masterminding terrorist activities in Lahore and other parts of Punjab...[he was] instrumental in recruiting young people from Punjab...[to] fuel the bloody insurgency...recovered digital camera had photographs of Pakistan's defence installations."

Seeking help to end terrorism in Pakistan from the head of terrorism, America, is a treachery to the blood of 141 children and adults who were killed in Peshawar on Tuesday. In the last thirteen years America was given room to get her foot in Pakistan in the name of fighting terrorism but ironically as her presence increased so too did terrorism. After knowing this fact, seeking help from this snake shows that the Raheel-Nawaz regime has no interest in ending terrorism from the country nor do they want to stop the spilling of innocent blood of their countrymen at all.

People of Pakistan must know that as long the American embassy and consulates are not closed and her diplomats, military and intelligence personal, who plan terrorist activities and provide funds for their execution, are not expelled, this fire will not be put out no matter how many operation or negotiations are conducted. Therefore, the people of Pakistan must demand from the Raheel-Nawaz regime that they must end the American presence from Pakistan which is the root cause of terrorism.
