LAHORE: Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq, has said that Indian Prime Minister Modi wanted to stop river water flow to Pakistan to convert the country into a desert and it was to be seen what steps the rulers in Islamabad would take to protect the Indus Water Treaty.
Addressing Friday congregation at Mansoora mosque, he said that Modi wanted to plunge the region into war flames and had been threatening to stop river water to the country for quite some time but the rulers had done nothing to foil his designs.
Sirajul Haq however warned Modi that the people of Pakistan would prefer to fight than to die thirsty.
The JI chief said that the Pakistan rulers brought up by the west were out to destroy the Islamic identity of Pakistan. He said the people asked for food but the rulers talked of training them to dance.
He said the Supreme Court decision to review the Sindh High Court decision banning sale of liquor was incomprehensible. He said that hundreds of people had died in Sindh and elsewhere in the country by inhaling liquor. It was a matter of shame that while the minorities were demanding ban on liquor, the Muslims were unhappy over the ban.
Sirajul Haq said it was the constitutional responsibility of the rulers to facilitate the masses in leading their lives in accordance with the Islamic teachings. However, unfortunately, the rulers were promoting the attitude of revolt from Allah and His Prophet and were responsible for the growth of social evils. The society was fast heading towards obscenity and vulgarity. He said that marriage had been made something difficult while adultery had been made easy. He said this trend must be checked in order to save the nation from total destruction.
“We are proud of our noble traditions and values and Inshallah, the Islamic civilization and culture would prevail in the long run,” he added.
Sirajul Haq was sure that the two day Workers Convention being organized by JISindh in Karachi from tomorrow would be the harbinger of the supremacy of Islam. He said that the drive against corruption was at its peak and the nation would soon witness the fall of the corrupt rulers.
He said the people of Sindh were trying hard to shake the hold of the feudal lords and vaderas. However, he said, that if they got freedom from the feudal lords, they fell in the hands of capitalists.
