LAHORE(INP): Ameer, Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq, has said that the government strategy on important issues can be likened to one wheeling as the opposition was not being taken into confidence.
Addressing a large Friday congregation at Mansoora mosque, he said that a government which tried to push the opposition to the wall would itself be buried under the wall in the long run.
He said the government was trying to bury the news leak issue and had not considered it necessary to take the parliament into confidence. However, he said, this strategy would not work anymore.
Sirajul Haq said that the mental slaves of the US were shedding tears on the defeat of Hilary Clinton and the victory of Donald Trump.
He said these people should realize that the US policies of grabbing Muslim world’s resources and thrusting a war on them was not something new and its policies did not change with the change of the government or the President.
The change of the US President had never brought a change in the US policy towards the Muslims as the US always watched its own interests.
He said the Muslim world would have to forge complete unity in its ranks and promote confidence in order to protect its interests, liberate its areas and for the solution of its problems.
He said the JI wanted such democracy in the country wherein there was no distinction between the master and the slave and every citizen had equal rights. “We don’t believe in the western democracy which could legalize homosexuality and declare interest banking as permissible’, he added.
He said the JI was striving for an Islamic and welfare state in which the rights of the oppressed were secure.
LG institutions not been made functional in Punjab: Baloch
LAHORE (INP): Secretary General, Jamaat e Islami, Liaqat Baloch, has said that it was a big failure of the Punjab government that the local government institutions had not been made functional in the province.
Talking to a group of elected representatives at the lower tier of democracy, he said that depriving the elected representatives of their rights was an undemocratic and dictatorial attitude.
He said that the federal and the provincial governments were promoting corruption and denying the masses basic civic facilities.
He called for revising the local governments and giving them powers under the law so that the problems of the masses especially related to education, health, drinking water, drainage and even jobs could be solved.
The JI Secretary General had a meeting with the minorities delegation at Gujrat and Kharian who apprised him of the problems of their community. The Christian delegation assured the JI leader that the Christian community was fully behind the armed forces and the nation against Indian aggression.
They noted that the minorities in India were being subjected to repression and tyranny. They added that self determination was the basic right of the Kashmiris.
Liaqat Baloch said on the occasion that the JI had full confidence in the minorities in this country as they were patriotic. He called upon the government to hold separate census of all the minorities as demanded by them.
