KARACHI: Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Dr Tahirul Qadri sounded an alarm on Sunday stating that Pakistan is the next target of the Islamic State (IS).
“After Syria and Iraq, the next target of ISIS is Pakistan,” he said during a peace conference at Nishtar Park.
Karachi Mayor Wasim Akhtar, leader of Pak Sarzameen Party Wasim Aftab also attended the conference along with leaders of Sikh, Christian and Hindu communities. However, Pakistan Peoples Party’s Syed Qaim Ali Shah did not showed up.
According to Tahirul Qadri, ISIS has already launched terrorist activities in the country. Foreign elements do not want Pakistan to prosper and they are behind the prevailing unrest in the country.
He added that corruption and terrorism is manipulating the true message of Islam and subsequently the lives of common people are being exploited.
