Muslim world to face music, if not united: Khawaja Asif

Islamabad: Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has said that if the Muslim world does not unite and continues to protect its interests under its agenda, then everyone will be affected.

Speaking in the National Assembly, Khawaja Asif stated that Israel is oppressing Palestinian children and has destroyed Palestine. Israel's hands are stained with the blood of Palestinians.

He added that Iran is our neighboring and brotherly country. We have such relations with Iran that are rarely seen in history. Israel has targeted Iran, Palestine, and Yemen, and if the Muslim world does not unite and continues to protect its interests under its agenda, then everyone else will be affected.

Khawaja Asif further said that most Muslim countries are very weak militarily. An OIC meeting should be called, where Muslim countries should come together and formulate a strategy that can confront Israel. Just as children were martyred and oppressed in Palestine, such voices are not being raised in Islamic countries. The consciousness of non-Muslims is awakening, but not that of Muslims. Some Muslim countries have relations with Israel, which should be discontinued.

The Defense Minister also stated that when India attacked us, we defeated an enemy five times bigger than us. Yesterday, Iran’s nuclear facilities were targeted. Israel is not alone in this; it was provided with every kind of cover; such measures are needed that show the unity of the Islamic world.

Talking about inflation, Khawaja Asif continued to say that inflation is definitely there, but where was the growth rate, and where is it now? The stock market reached 125 points. Who were the people who wrote letters to the IMF asking not to give a loan to Pakistan? It is not right to make one person the axis of all politics.
