Mustafavi Students Movement organized a protest demonstration today in front
of the Lahore Press Club in which the hundreds of students protested against the
unprovoked NATO strike on the Pakistani check post in Mohmand Agency.
The students were carrying placards and posters with anti-NATO and pro-army slogans
inscribed on them. The protest demonstration was led by MSM president Tajjamal Hussain.
The protestors demanded of the government of Pakistan to take up the matter with
the United Nations.
Addressing the students, Tajjamal Hussain said that NATO attack on Pakistani
army check post inside the Pakistani border was clear breach of the country’s sovereignty.
The attack defied Pakistan’s immense contributions and sacrifices in war against
terrorism. He said that targeting Pakistan army was tantamount to attacking Pakistan
as the army was responsible for the country’s defence.
MSM President said that the youth and students strongly condemned the NATO action.
He asked the government to convey the anger of the Pakistan nation to the concerned
countries so that they did not dare repeat this act again. “Time to review the country’s
foreign policy has come,” he added.
Speaking on the occasion Abdul Ghaffar Mustafavi, Secretary General of MSM, said
that the ruling elite needed to show their credentials of being Pakistan by abandoning
those who have violated the country’s territorial integrity. He said that the NATO
attack was a violation of the UN charter and international laws and the people were
rightly enraged.
The students of MSM chanted slogans in favour of Pak army and expressed their
solidarity with them. Hundreds of students belonging to various universities and
colleges attended the protest. The students expressed their resolve that the entire
Pakistani nation stood behind their armed forces and no one should dare cast an
evil eye on Pakistan. They said that only an economically independent Pakistan could
earn honourable position in the comity of nations.
