LAHORE: Deputy chief of the Jamaat e Islami, Hafiz Muhammad Idrees, has said that India would not stop aggressive activities unless she was given a befitting reply from this side.
Firing by Indian forces at the working boundary has become a routine and hundreds of innocent people have been martyred and injured while the UN Mission have not been able to stop the Indian unprovoked attacks, he said while addressing a big Friday congregation at Mansoora mosque.
The JI deputy chief said that had Pakistan not lost at Tashkent, the 1965 war which she had won at the battle field, India would not have dared to cast an evil eye on this country now.
He said that as long as the armed forces waged Jehad and were busy in the defense of the country and the nation, they ruled over the hearts of the masses, However, if they abandoned the duty of the defense of the borders and reached the corridors of power, they would place their respect and dignity at stake.
The JI central leader said the nation was ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with their armed forces in any conflict with the enemy and if India did not abandon her aggressive designs, the nation was ready to repeat the history of 1965. He said that the Defense Day would be celebrated with full enthusiasm and zeal on September 6.
Hafiz Muhammad Idrees said that the JI had also decided to observe Urdu Day on September 2. Seminars and rallies would be staged demanding the urgent enforcement of the national language. He said that the nations were identified by their language, culture and way of life.
Besides, he said, the JI would be observing Hijab Day on September 4 to renew the pledge that the western and Hindu culture would not be tolerated in the country any more. On this day, the women wing of the JI would hold rallies and seminars to emphasize the importance of Hijab in Islam.
