Siraj for unity of religious forces

LAHORE

Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Senator Sirajul Haq has stressed the need for unity in the religious forces to safeguard Islamic identity of Pakistan.

Addressing the Jamiat-e-Talaba Arabia congregation at Mansoora, Sirajul Haq said the colonial powers and international establishment were conspiring to undo the Islamic identity of this country and unfortunately, the country’s rulers were also advancing the enemy agenda.  

He said the row between the state institutions on news leaks was due to the incompetence and mishandling of the issue by the government. He said the news leaks report was out a day before its being made public. He asked the interior minister to explain who was responsible for this lapse. 

The JI chief impressed upon the religious leadership to sink their petty differences and unite on one platform. He said the safeguarding the country’s identity was far more important at this stage than the personal and party considerations. He said if the religious forces did not realise their original role at this juncture and stuck to their minor differences, the new generation of those loyal to the East India Company would not hesitate in playing with the country’s solidarity.

Sirajul Haq said the poor had always offered sacrifices for the country while the so-called elite had been compromising on vital national interests for personal gains. He said the country at present was facing conspiracies both from within and outside and its defence was a sacred Jehad. He said there was no obstacle in the unity of the religious forces as the common goal before them was the enforcement of the Shariah. He said the differences of Ulema always benefitted the vested interests. He said the JIT investigations would reveal the rulers corruption and it was honourable for them to resign at this stage. He said the lesson of history was that pride hath a fall, and the present rulers should also learn from this.

‘India wants to destabilise Pakistan’: Muttahida Jehad Council Chairman Syed Salah ud Din has demanded the government not nullify the sacrifices of the Kashmiris for friendship with India.

Flanked by senior JI leader Ameer ul Azim, addressing a press conference at Lahore Press Club on Sunday, Syed Salah ud Din said the BJP government was a staunch and biased Hindu regime whose sole agenda was to destabilise Pakistan. He said the Modi government was working on the agenda of Akhand Bharat whereas Kashmiris were fighting the war of the completion of Pakistan. The third generation of the Kashmiris was now offering its blood for this country and they were being buried in the Pakistani flags, the MJC chairman said. 

He said it was high time that the rulers raised their voice against India’s terrorism at international forums.  He said the solution to the Kashmir issue was vital for peace and progress of the region. India, he said, was deputing workers of extremist Hindu body RSS in Held Kashmir for the genocide of the Kashmiris. The Mujahideen commander said Modi’s manifesto was to make Azad Kashmir also a part of India and same plan had been announced by Indian Foreign Minister in the Indian parliament in response to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s speech. Besides, he said, India was working on the plan to convert Pakistan into a desert by blocking its river water and it was already changing the course of the Pakistani rivers.

He said that Pakistan was not complete without Kashmir and the Kashmiris would continue their liberation struggle till the presence of the last Indian soldier on their soil and added that India could not crush the Kashmiris freedom spirit. He said the entire world had come to know from the confessions of Kulbhushan that India was carrying out terrorist and subversive activities through its terrorists.
