Terming the decision of United States to freeze over one billion USD aid to Pakistan as a blessing in disguise, chairperson of Dukhtaran-e-Millat, Syedah Aasiyeh Andrabi, on Saturday urged the Government and Army of Pakistan to retract from all alliances with the America.
She said that it was a golden opportunity for the Pakistan as the US on it own is trying to withdraw its partnership with the Pakistan.
“Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif has now said that US president, Donald Trump, is ranting like India but we have been stating it since long that US, under Indian pressure, was making Pakistan do many things that were detrimental to its sovereignty,” she said in a statement.
Now that the US has openly said that it is topping the aid to Pakistan, it is the best opportunity for the Pakistan to become self-reliant, she said.
“Such opportunities doesn’t come your way again and again. This is the best time for Pakistan to stand up and develop its own economy,” she added.
Andrabi said that Pakistan must understand that Muslims across the world have pinned their hopes on it. “ Every oppressed Muslim looks towards Pakistan, so if Pakistan continues to rely on countries like US, saving oppressed Muslims in other countries is out of question as its own existence continues to remain in danger,” she added.
She said that Allah SWT has bestowed Pakistan with nuclear power, and innumerable assets and natural resources“ If Pakistan, without relying on easy ways and means to sustain its economy, focusses on extracting and utilizing its own resources, it will surely develop into a powerful country,” she said.
Andrabi said that it is a known fact that US has always been a worst enemy to Pakistan. “ So, the Pakistani government should also think how they could get rid of the US aid that has been utilized in different sectors other than military means so that it becomes self-reliant and self-sufficient over a period of time,” she added.
“It may be difficult for the time being but the Pakistanis must understand that time will come when Pakistan will be an independent economic force to reckon with. If Pakistanis thinks that US aid instead of Allah SWT can develop our economic or defense system, then they are living in the fools’ paradise,” she added.
“We must trust only Allah SWT and must pray that He SWT gives us the expertise so that we can exploit out resources to the fullest,” she added.
She further said that the Muslims should also pray that such people should come to power in Pakistan who believe and work on the idea of Pakistan and who have the ability to run Pakistan as per the purpose it was created. “It is the purpose for which lakhs of people have sacrificed their lives,” she added.
Andrabi said that she is happy that such an opportunity has come its way. “I also appeal people to hold special prayers for Pakistan so that the country becomes self-sustaining and self-reliant. It is shame that whenever India wishes, it asks America to cut aid to Pakistan. Pakistanis are not beggars; it is the nation of proud Muslims. We will starve but won’t budge,” she said.
“I once again appeal the government and the army of Pakistan to bring an end to any partnership in any field and work hard, so that a day will come when the world will seek help and aid from our Pakistan,” she added.(KNO)
