NEW JERSEY (USA):
Association of Pakistani Professionals [AOPP] strongly
condemned Thursday's assassination attempt on President Pervez
Musharraf and asks the citizens to take the responsibility
upon them selves towards eradicating the new wave of terrorism
in the country.
AOPP recognizes remarkably positive role President Musharraf
has played in the war against global terrorism and his efforts
to eliminate terrorism and extremism from the country.
Via an electronic message to Pakistan Times, the first
independent daily web newspaper of the country, the President
of the AOPP, Syed Asif Alam said that 'Pakistan reversed its
defensive strategy (that included supporting Taliban) in the
face of hegemonic and hostile designs of India, and as the
frontline ally in the war on terrorism suffered the most at
economic and human levels.'
Alam observed that Pakistan was now the locus for the war on
terror. Its law enforcement and intelligence agencies had
penetrated terrorist organizations and as a result several top
al-Qaeda leaders and hundreds of their minions were in US
custody which American and European agencies could not have
done. Indeed, an apparently direct result of Pakistan's
assistance.
'The world should see the dangerous role Pakistan and its
people have taken upon themselves and should be helped in turn
by providing maximum help in eliminating poverty and
illiteracy', he remarked.
Association of Pakistani Professionals [AOPP] is a USA based
think tank that strives for educated view about Pakistan in
western media and governments and can be visited at
