Despite warnings by Washington nothing has changed in Pakistan as Islamabad continues to provide full support to Jihadi groups whose sole objective is to wage a terror war against the U S Israel and India.

Recently, Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD), a front for the Lashkar-e-Taiba militant group, held a rally and protest in Gujaranwala in Punjab province, and pledged to launch wars against the United States, Israel, India and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

Ahsanullah, Amir JuD, criticized Sharif for not acting against the U.S. and India.

He said, "Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif wanted to make friendship with that "Khabees" (Bad person while referring to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi) whose country had earlier captured 93,000 army personnel of Pakistan."

Referring to Kashmir, Ahsanullah said, "The rulers of Pakistan will he held responsible in front of Allah for not working for the cause of Kashmiris".

"Mujahideen will render sacrifices and they (Nawaz Sharif and others) will sit idle in their houses," he said in his speech.

Ahsanullah also criticized Pakistani rulers for giving undue importance to the US and its leadership. He said, "Allah to give strength to wage Jehad. Those who will make friendship with infidels won't be accepted in any case".

Recently, President Donald Trump urged Pakistan to do more against terrorists especially Hafiz Saeed and to ban the JUD.

Ahsanullah said, "You have permitted the Christians to use Pakistani land for NATO supply and they will never become happy with you (Pak rulers and government)."

The JuD cadres assembled outside Markaz Aqsa in Gujaranwala and protested against the US, Israel and India.
