FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The demonstrators, including seminary students, clerics and members of Jamaat-e-Islami religio-political party, staged a massive protest rally in the Nowshera district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, situated 150 kilometers (93 miles) west of the capital Islamabad, on Thursday, shouting anti-US slogans.
Leaders of the Jamaat-e-Islami party also said that they would resist any attempt to re-launch the supply lines for US-led foreign forces in Afghanistan.
They also described Pakistani officials collaborating with NATO forces as “traitors”, calling on Islamabad to sever all forms of relationship with Washington.
“The main purpose of today’s rally is to protest against the possible restoration of NATO supplies, which the government is planning. This has become an urgent demand of our party. We demand the NATO supplies must be stopped permanently, and the country should get rid of American influence,” Samee Rehran, an organizer of the rally, told Press TV.
The protesters also held the United States responsible for the worsening security and economic situation that has plagued Pakistan for years.
“The increasing terrorist activities across the country are all due to American intervention in our country. The US presence in this region has disrupted the peace here. We believe peace, brotherhood and tranquility will prevail once American forces withdraw from the area,” a demonstrator said.
Shortly after the NATO attacks that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers on November 26, 2011, Pakistan closed the border crossings that were used to transport supplies to US-led forces in Afghanistan.
NATO relied heavily on the Pakistani supply routes into Afghanistan, and even more so after the militant attacks increased in the war-torn Asian country.
Before the route was cut, supplies would arrive by sea in Karachi, from where they would travel in long, exposed convoys through Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province in northwest Pakistan.
Other routes, largely through Russia and the Central Asian states, have proven to be too costly, both politically and economically.
