SUKKUR: JUIF chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Sunday said that JUIF considered politics as a holy Jihad while others fought for power.

He said this during a public meetings in Sukkur and Ghotki. He said that people were ready to vote for JUIF candidates. He said that he had been observing distortion of the Islamic republic of Pakistan which was made in the name of Islam. He said, “Politics is a holy jihad for him but this holy struggle has been marred with lies and deceit.” He said, “We consider this holy jihad to bring Islam to the governance, but you are focusing on power and rule. We have taken a difficult journey, in this way, we have presented the blood of our leaders like Dr Khalid Mahamood Soomro.”

“We have fought for the country’s human rights, better economy, better employment, while some look to socialism and some in western culture. As a nation, we have to think about where we have gone astray, where we are going.” He said, “When one is ungrateful for blessings, Allah brings two kinds of punishment, one is hunger and the other is poverty. I ask if there is peace and law and order in Sindh.” “I have always found love in Sindh, when we were politically weak, we could not save the people here, but now we will save the people here from powerty, inflation and lawlessness,” JUIF chief maintained. Maulana Fazl said, “JUIF takes its manifesto from Quran. More than twenty-five thousand Palestinians have been martyred in the war, where he human rights organiszations are. South Africa is better than us, as it has gone to the International Court of Justice on the issue of Palestine.” “Today the entire Islamic community has left the Palestinians alone, even food is not reaching to them. If you want to fight with Hamas, why you are fighting with ordinary people of Palestinians, He said. He said when there was an attack in Afghanistan, the Taliban were declared terrorists but JUIF alone said that the Taliban were their brothers not the terrorists.

He said that if US minister could go to Tel Aviv and say that he had come as a Jewish. So even Maulana Fazlur Rahman could go and say that he had come as a Muslim.
