Islamabad, Oct 1(ANI): Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has expressed fears that the United States might move a resolution in the United Nations against Pakistan over its nuclear programme or terrorism.
Addressing a press conference, Rehman termed the US as an unreliable ally, and accused it of conspiring to destabilise Pakistan after announcing a timetable for troops withdrawal from Afghanistan.
"The possibility is there that the US brings a resolution in the UN against Pakistan's nuclear programme or declares it a terrorist country," The Express Tribune quoted the JUI-F chief, as saying.
He also urged Islamabad to expedite efforts on the diplomatic front to ensure that any possible US resolution against Pakistan in the UN is vetoed by China and Russia.
Rehman said that Pakistan should use the 'Taliban card' carefully and not make any hasty decisions.
The US has cards of its own and can use them against Pakistan, he added.
"The US, at any time, can raise the issue of Quetta Shura," he warned, referring to Afghan Taliban militants presumably based in the Balochistan capital.
Rehman also claimed long-standing links between the Haqqanis and the Taliban.
"Maulana Jalaluddin Haqqani was part of the Taliban from the day one and we gave them nomenclature of the Haqqani network," he said.
The JUI-F chief also claimed that the current US stance was merely a way of drawing attention away from their defeat in Afghanistan. (ANI)
