KARACHI: Karachi operation will only be successful if a similar action would be conducted in Punjab because Pakistan is going through its most crucial time, Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Tahirul Qadri said on Sunday. He was talking to reporters at Khawaja House after arriving from Canada. “I cannot understand the objectives of Karachi operation,” he said and warned against harmony between politics and terrorism. “This collusion would encourage terrorism that may spill over from Punjab to entire country,” he opined. There are terrorist havens in Punjab, but no crackdown has been taken in the province, he said. He said elimination of terrorists from Punjab was need of the hour. “Operations took place in Karachi, Waziristan, Quetta and other parts of the country, but I think success will only be achieved, if terrorism would be eliminated from Punjab,” he said. “Rulers are trying to pave the way for ‘monarchy’ in the country and letter of Qatari prince has proved their corruption,” he pointed out. “Their corruption has been exposed. Now it is test of the institutions,” he said, adding that the nation must wake up for resolution of issues. The PAT chief said he loved Sindh and felicitated the people of the province on Sindh Cultural Day. He said the corruption to the tune of billions is being committed whereas ‘Arabs’ are coming to save the Sharifs. He said that whatever happened in Afghanistan, Yemen, Egypt, Libya, Iraq and Syria, he has an apprehension that the same can happen here as well because one family and their corruption has become stronger than the whole system. Pakistan has defied the plot of enemy forces because of being a nuclear power, he added. “As long as our nuclear power remains in the hands of the army, our enemy cannot succeed in its nefarious designs,” he said. Some forces want to roll back Pakistan’s nuclear capability as they do not want to see the country’s internal and external security being safe, he said, adding that Pakistan Army is the biggest hurdle in the way of ill-will and designs of such powers. Corrupt and self-serving rulers are not interested in anything else except expanding their business empire and interests, he added.
