LAHORE: Ameer, Jamaat e Islami Senator Sirajul Haq, has said that the Pakistani nation and the armed forces were on the same page against India and in case of an aggression, would give a befitting response to the enemy which would end up in the emergence of several new Pakistans within India.
He was addressing a news conference at Mansoora on Sunday at the conclusion of the JI Shoora meeting.
Sirajul Haq said the Shoora had reviewed the rulers’ indifference on the issues of Panama leaks and resolved that if the government did not constitute an independent judicial Commission for equity into the matter and the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif did not present himself for accountability, the only option with the opposition would be to hold public protests.
Sirajul Haq said that the JI Shoora had reviewed the situation in Held Kashmir following the martyrdom of Burhans Muzaffar Wani. He said the Pakistani nation paid rich tributes to the Kashmiris for their sacrifices and stood with them in their struggle for liberation. The Shoora resolved to defend the homeland till their last breath and the last drop of blood in their veins.
The JI chief said that the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had presented the Kashmir issue at the UN in accordance with the sentiments of the nation. However, he said, there was need for practical steps in the same direction.
He noted that US President Obama had not mentioned the Kashmir issue in his address to the UN General Assembly which reflected the weakness of Pakistani diplomacy. He said it seemed the government had not made preparations on this score at the international and diplomatic fronts.
The JI chief said the Kashmiris movement was continuing only because of the efforts of the Kashmiri youth who under the leadership of Burhan Wani Shaheed, had been determined to achieve liberation.
Sirajul Haq said he had been expecting that the Prime Minister in his UN address, would take up the issue of Modis’ meddling in Balochistan and Baltistan and the executions of JI leaders in Bangladesh in violation of the 1974 agreement between Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. However, this was not done. Similarly, he said, the Prime Minister had not raised the issue of Pakistan’s respected daughter Dr Aafia Siddiqui or even the RAW agent Kalboshan who had been arrested by the security agencies.
Sijajul Haq asked what steps the government had taken for the recovery of the 275 billion dollars lying in Swiss banks. He said it was the demand of the nation to cleanse politics of corruption and to send the plunderers to jail. He said the JI would continue its drive against corruption within the courts and outside. He said the JI was holding a mass rally at Faisalabad on September 30.
Distancing himself from PTI’s Raiwind March on 30th September, the JI Amir said his party would hold a protest in Faisalabad against corruption the same day.
He told a questioner that the opposition parties would present a common line of action against corruption in the first week of October. He said the JI wanted the accountability of all previous governments besides the PML(N) government. He said, the JI was against violence or show of force. However, he said, if the government had solved these issues in the assemblies, the masses would not have been forced to come on roads.—APP
