'US, India, Israel fanning sectarianism in Pak, Iran'

Karachi, June 22 (ANI): Pakistan's religious party, Jama'at Islami, has claimed that India, US and Israel are fanning sectarianism in Pakistan and Iran as part of a conspiracy.

The News quoted Jama'at Islami General Secretary Liaquat Baloch, as saying that all three nations wanted to divide the Muslims on the basis of differences between various schools of thought.

Addressing the Ulema Convention under aegis of Jama'at Islami Central District, Baloch said the religious parties would have to combat the conspiracies waged against Islam under the present circumstances.

He demanded that the Pak government stop the military operation in NWFP province, and that the IDPs be rehabilitated in their areas.

He also said that his party does not believe in an armed struggle. (ANI)
