Protest against JI leader’s execution

LAHORE

Religious parties observed a black day on Friday against the judicial murder of JI Bangladesh ameer Maulana Motiur Rehman Nizami. Several meetings and protests were held and prayer leaders highlighted the issue in Friday sermons to condemn the pro-India government in Dhaka which was still carrying out Indian agenda against Pakistan after 45 years, besides the Muslim governments for keeping a criminal silence over the systematic killings of Islamist leaders.

Tanzim-e-Islami ameer Hafiz Akif Saeed said the executing elderly religious leaders for vague war crimes after 45 years of committing was a beastly act by Dhaka government. Delivering Friday sermon at Quran Academy, he said Hasina Wajed government was actually committing an enmity against Islam since those who resisted creation of Bangladesh were actually protecting a country created in the name of Islam.

He said Hasina government was carrying out Indian agenda against Pakistan even after 45 years. He also condemned Pakistani government for keeping silence over organised attacks against its ideology.

Pakistan Ulema Council (PUC) also observed a protest day on Friday as thousands of prayer leaders affiliated with PUC demanded Islamabad to sever ties with Dhaka for sham trials of Islamist leaders.

PUC chairman Hafiz Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi while addressing a meeting demanded all the Muslim countries to sever ties with Dhaka like Turkey. He said had Islamabad taken a serious step on the matter earlier, this ugly policy of Dhaka would have been stopped much before.
