JI asks Muslim world to rise for saving Al Aqsa from
Zionist destruction
|
|
LAHORE, Feb 14: Jamaat Islami has expressed strong
concerns against Zionists conspiracy to demolish
historic Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, warning that
if Israel was not stopped from undermining the first
Qibla of Islam than the Middle East would become
flashpoint of global destruction.
The warning was issued by Jamaat Islami central
Shoora in a resolution passed on the issue of
Palestine and Al Aqsa mosque in its 3-day meeting
chaired by Qazi Hussain Ahmad.
The Shoora congratulated Hamas and Al-Fatah for
their historic reconciliation and appealed to the
Palestinian nation to forge complete unity to
frustrate Zionists conspiracy and to liberate their
homeland from Israeli occupation.
It praised Hamas leadership for trying to establish
a national government despite having a majority, and
expressed sorrow that PA president Mahmoud Abbas
refused such a government and tried to fail Hamas
government by blocking salaries to workers and other
development funds under US dictates. The Shoora
expressed gratitude that the conspiracy to make
Palestinians fight against one another was finally
frustrated despite US and Israeli supply of arms to
Al-Fatah group.
The Shoora urged the Muslim rulers to rise up to
their basic and religious responsibility of saving
Al Aqsa mosque by taking practical measures,
reminding them that such a response in 1969 resulted
in creating OIC to protect Al Aqsa but was later
succumbed to personal and western interests. It
demanded of Muslim governments to frustrate the US
plan of forcing Muslim countries to recognize
Israel, and to make it clear to Washington that if
it continued to patronize Zionist terrorism against
Palestinians than Muslim would be forced to revoke
all agreements with Washington.
The Shoora warned that present digging under Al Aqsa
to demolish the historic Muslim site and construct
Temple of Solomon at its place was nothing but the
long Zionist conspiracies against Islam. Shoora
cited the first Israeli prime Minister Ben Gurion
saying that "Israel is meaningless without Al Quds
and Al Quds is meaningless without Temple of
Solomon." It warned that during the last one year
Israel had secretly constructed seven large
structures under the foundations of Al Aqsa mosque
and Israeli clergy has prophesized that year 2007
was most suitable for constructing Solomon's Temple.
Shoora expressed sorrow that the Israeli lobby
controlling the affairs of Washington administration
was imposing Zionist policies upon the whole world
particularly in the Middle East, and it was the
responsibility of every justice loving citizen of
the world to play his role in blocking the Zionists
conspiracies against Palestinians and Muslim world. |

JI lashed out at Musharraf regime for lawlessness
and undermining country's ideology |
|
LAHORE, Feb 13: Jamaat Islami has expressed serious
concern over precarious lawlessness in the country
which has reached alarming heights during Gen
Musharraf's rule.
In a resolution passed by the JI Central Shoora in
its meeting chaired by Qazi Hussain Ahmad released
by JI media on Tuesday, said that hundreds of
dacoities and robberies are reported everyday while
the number of those go unreported are much higher,
while the number of street crimes that go unreported
are too much higher than what are reported. Now
cases of high officials of army and police being
robbed are also being reported. It seems that all
law enforcing agencies in the country have lost
their professional capabilities since they have been
used extensively by the rulers to crush political
opponents. Whereas, it is a fact that all gangs of
criminals are nurtured and promoted by rulers and
feudals, and operate under police patronage. The
rising cases of gang rapes are heart breaking for
common man which are in addition to the heinous
cases of kidnapping for ransom of minor children and
their brutal murders, that made people feel totally
insecure at the hands of criminals and rapists and
pass sleepless nights. Shoora said such a situation
portrays a totally corrupt law enforcing machinery
and an uncivilized and irresponsible government.
Shoora mentioned with concern the rising number of
suicide bomb blasts in the country and said an
official of federal government's intelligence agency
was caught red handed while planting bomb outside
NWFP chief minister's house but no action has so far
been taken against him. Mentioning the assassination
of top police officials, the Shoora expressed
serious concern over the abduction of Supreme
Court's Superintendent from the constituency of the
ruling party chief Gujrat city and had to secure
release after paying Rs 5 million ransom.
It also mentioned the alarming graph of street
crimes allegedly committed by a political group in
Karachi and Sindh allied with the ruling coalition.
It said the people of tribal areas and Balochistan
are feeling deep hatred against federation due to
the continuous military operation and massacre of
their brothers and children at the hands of army,
done only to please Washington. The Shoora appealed
to the people to organize themselves and form civic
organizations for their protection besides launching
political struggle to secure their rights.
In another resolution against rulers' efforts to
implement western conspiracy to turn the country
secular and to undermine its Islamic ideology, the
Shoora warned that all moves to remove Islamic
articles of constitution and other laws amount to
serious breach of the constitution.
It is said that the country was created in the name
of Islam but enemies launched conspiracies against
the Islamic system soon after our independence, and
such conspiracies have gained momentum after the
present rulers came to power. It said western powers
using huge money and other resources to secularize
Pakistan which included abolishing Hudood laws,
blasphemy law and anti Qadiyaniat law etc. It
mentioned that amendment in Hudood laws has in fact
made the women insecure as against the media
propaganda. It also noted with concern that
government disallow registration of any NGO formed
for protection and promotion of Islamic civilization
while western NGOs working against the ideology and
constitution of the country are being openly
registered. The shoora termed this discriminatory
attitude against Quran and Sunnah highly unfortunate
and devastating for the very security and unity of
the country. It also noted with concern that men
with beard and women with veils and hijab are being
harassed in government and private organizations,
even in the PIA whereas Islamic codes are openly
trampled and un-Islamic festivals like Basant,
Valentine day etc are celebrated under official
patronage during the 7-year Musharraf rule. |

JI Shoora held Muslim rulers' Western slavery root
cause of Ummah's problems |
|
LAHORE, Feb 12: Jamaat-e-Islami Shoora has expressed
sorrow that all the present day problems of Ummah
are a direct result of Muslim rulers' deviation from
Islamic principles and accepting western slavery for
the sake of personal interests rather than working
for Ummah's interests and its unity.
This concern was expressed by the 3-day JI Shoora
meeting headed by Qazi Hussain Ahmad in its
resolution passed on the national and international
political situation issued by JI media on Monday.
The resolution warned that colonist forces are
implementing a well thought out conspiracy against
the independence, sovereignty, culture and beliefs
of the Muslim world. On one hand they are committing
naked aggression against several Muslim countries
including Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Kashmir,
Lebanon etc. with an agenda of Muslim genocide and
dividing them on the basis of sects, languages and
races, and on the other hand western media is
spreading a vicious propaganda terming Muslims as
terrorists and culprits in order to justify their
massacre.
The Shoora observed that during the 7-year rule of
Gen Musharraf, Pakistan's basic Islamic ideology,
identity, national unity and culture have been
subjected to serious damage in order to secularize
the nation under the western agenda. The military
rulers are again subjecting the nation to the same
western colonists against whom our ancestors had
fought a long freedom struggle to secure out
liberties, just to protect their own illegal
dictatorial rule. The Shoora termed Musharraf rule
as the darkest in the national history in which
Allah's laws were openly trampled to replace all
religious and moral values with those of secularism,
liberalism and western culture of vulgarity.
Country's women were degraded and left insecure in
the name of women rights. Dictatorship of an
individual was established in place of democracy and
strength of democratic institutions while deep gulf
was created between people and army by forcing
military dictatorship on people and their freedoms.
Country was run on the whims and wishes of an
individual instead of constitutional requirements,
thus damaging federation beyond repair and creating
deep sense of insecurity among provinces and
promoting secessionist forces that weakened the
federation and the national unity. Real dangers were
created against national security by taking U-turn
on Afghan and Kashmir policy, while serious
bloodshed was caused in tribal areas besides owning
the attacks of US forces in Bajaur and other tribal
areas to fuel the public anger against the army and
its leadership just to support the falling morale
and fierce defeat of the invading US forces at the
hands of valiant resistance of Afghan people. The
shoora expressed sorrow that military dictatorship
not only committed massacre of own countrymen but
also victimized and abducted its opponents just to
please Washington. But what Washington rewarded
Islamabad for this was the legislation of US
Congress binding US president to certify every year
that Pakistan was amply cooperating in the war
against terror, failing which its aid should be
suspended.
After aiding western forces on attacking
Afghanistan, Islamabad also deviated the 60 year old
historic and principled stance on Kashmir to throw
the valley into the lap of Delhi and now the same
game is being played with Palestinians to favor
Israel.
Balochistan issue was dangerously mishandled and
instead of negotiations unnecessary force was used
to victimize and antagonize entire Balochistan
province.
National Hero and father of country's nuclear
program Dr Qadeer Khan was humiliated and put under
detention to please Washignton. Fast deteriorating
Economic situation and Law and order have cast
devastating effects on entire population forcing
them to commit mass suicides due to hunger and
surging an alarming rise in crime rate. Even the law
enforcing agencies were left insecure as the
intelligence agencies were put only on the
surveillance on political opponents of the
dictatorial regime. Serious violations of human
rights were committed by the rulers as opponents
were abdulcted in broad day light and put in secret
jails without informing their families about their
well being. On the other hand their protesting
families were tortured and humiliated in a crude
display of dictatorship. The Shoora observed that it
has been made clear that unless Article 6 of the
constitution calling for death penalty for those
breaching the constitution was invoked and dictators
punished to death, the rule of law and human rights
situation could never be restored. Shoora condemned
President Musahrraf for running election campaign of
the ruling party in violation of the constitution
and Election rules and demanded of the opposition
parties to constitute a united opposition to rid the
country of dictatorship and restore its sovereignty
and rule of constitution and parliament. It demanded
that consensus should be created for complete
restoration of constitution, and establishment of
consensus interim government and independent
election commission to hold free and transparent
elections. It demanded of all the political and
religious parties to rise above personal and petty
interests to join hands for a lasting struggle for
restoration of democracy and constitution. It also
praised the MMA as the auspicious platform of
religious forces and symbol of religious unity in
the country which should be supported for the sake
of protecting country's Islamic identity and other
foreign challenges to Islamic ideology. |

Countrywide protests pledge protection of al-Aqsa
mosque |
|
LAHORE, Feb 09: Protest day against the Zionists
offensive attempt to demolish Al-Aqsa mosque was
observed across country on the appeal MMA president
Qazi Hussain Ahmad.
Ulema and prayer leaders in their sermons warned
against Zionist conspiracies and raised their
unanimous protests through big rallies and
demonstrations in every nook and corner of the
country.
A mammoth rally was taken out from the
Jamaat-e-Islami headquarters Mansoorah after Friday
prayer which was led by Qazi Hussain Ahmad. Large
number of shoora members, parliamentarians and
general public participated in the rally. Protestors
were chanting slogans "down with American-Zionist
nexus" and "Down with US lackeys". Marching on
Multan Road, the rally converted into mammoth pubic
meeting near Multan chungi where JI leaders Dr.
Mohammad Kamal, Dr. Farid Ahmad Piracha, MNA, Abdul
Ghaffar Aziz and Qazi Hussain Ahmad addressed the
public meeting.
Addressing emotionally charged crowd carrying
placards in their hands inscribed with anti-American
slogans and pledges to protect the first Kibla at
all cost, Qazi Hussain Ahmad demanded Muslim regimes
to integrate their military resources under the
banner of OIC to thwart Zionist aggressive designs
against the blessed al-Aqsa mosque.
Islamabad, Qazi demanded, should immediately
terminate all military related cooperation with
Washington which seek to foster to the so called US
war on terror. He said attacks against the
sanctified places and symbols of faith are nothing
short of terrorism. General Musharraf and Tel Aviv
both are unleashing this terror by demolishing
mosques, he said.
He said protection of al-Aqsa mosque is part of
every Muslims' faith but strict security measures by
the Israeli army have made access of Palestinians
hard today. Palestinians under 45 years are not
allowed to visit al-Aqsa for offering Friday prayer
while elderly people are searched thoroughly at the
military check points before reaching the haram
al-Qudsi.
Earlier, talking to reporters during the prayer
break of the JI shoora meeting on the first day Qazi
Hussain Ahmad lauded reconciliation between
Palestinian groups Hamas and al-Fatah. He said
inking of Makkah declaration will stop infighting
between these groups which emboldened the Israelis
to attack the third holiest place of Muslims.
To a question Qazi Hussain said that protection of
al-Aqsa mosque is more important than the
distribution of ministry portfolios between
Palestinians. Muslim rulers will be responsible for
any damage caused to al-Aqsa mosque if they did not
act upon to check the Zionist designs at this moment
of time. |

JI shoora condemns curbs on press freedom |
|
LAHORE, Feb 11: The Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan has
mocked government's claim of press freedom saying
that military dictator General Pervez is out to
muzzle the voice of free press by using oppressive
measures ranging from killing, kidnapping
and harassment of journalists in Pakistan.
The party also demanded tracing whereabouts of
missing Editor Sohail Kalandar besides bringing the
killers of senior journalists like Hayatuallah [The
Nation], Munir Ahmad Sangi [KTN], Maqbool Hussain
Sael [Online], Mohammad Ismael [PPI] and Makhdoom
Rafiq [Sindhi paper Nijat] to books.
This concern and demand was made by the JIP through
a unanimously adopted resolution by its central
council (shoora) on Sunday. The JI shoora is in
session [Feb 9-11] to discuss and debated the
country's prevalent political situation and carve
out future strategy to rid the country from military
dictatorship once for all. The meeting was chaired
by Jamaat-e-Islami ameer Qazi Hussain Ahmad.
A
resolution about the media-men noted with great
concern that five journalist were killed during the
year 2006 while performing their professional
duties. Enlisting the names of assassinated
media-men the JI resolution said that even foreign
journalists working in Pakistan are not safe from
the highhandedness of so called media friendly
regime of General Pervez Musharraf. "The handing
over of al-Jazeera cameraman Sami al-Hajj to US
forces for dispatch to
Guantanamo Bay speaks of the shameful
treatment meted out to international journalists in
Pakistan.
Condemning the curbs on media-men encumbering
performance of their professional duties, the
resolution added that media is not allowed to cover
the incidents in Bajour and other tribal areas. Even
journalists were barred from interviewing survival
of Bajour carnage and when some media folk managed
to reach them, the injured were shifted to unknown
places against the doctors' advice. The brutal
police torture on journalists covering Marriott
Hotel bombing is the latest incident of state terror
unleashed against the press, the resolution
concluded. |

Qazi makes fervent appeal to protect first Kibla |
|
LAHORE, Feb 08:
The MMA president and Jamaat-e-Islami ameer Qazi
Hussain Ahmad has made a passionate appeal to Muslim
world to take serious notice of the latest attempt
of Zionist authorities to demolish historic Al Aqsa
mosque and chalk out a unanimous strategy by calling
a meeting of entire Muslim world.
He made this appeal while addressing the reception
hosted in honor of visiting assistant minister of
Saudi ministry of religious affairs, Shaikh Abdul
Aziz bin Abdullah Al Ammar and his delegation at
Mansoorah on Thursday. Former president Rafiq Tarar,
religious leaders and scholars from all schools of
thought and notables were also present on the
occasion.
Qazi Hussain Ahmad said it was high time that entire
Muslim populations particularly the Muslim leaders
and governments should come out to protect the Al
Aqsa and the Muslim honor at the hands of Zionists.
He stressed upon countries like Saudi Arabia,
Pakistan and Iran that it was their duty to stand up
for the defense of Muslim world against the
conspiracies of the enemies of Islam. He warned the
Muslim world that it should be aware of the enemy
conspiracies to divide Muslims in sects, regions and
dubbing them as extremists and moderates, urging
them to frustrate all those conspiracies by
maintaining total unity in their ranks. He said it
was height of cruelty that the west had waged a
vicious war on Muslims and Islam at world level but
on the other hand Muslims were being dubbed as
terrorists.
He reminded that World Muslim Congress was formed
when Israelis first tried to arson the blessed Al
Aqsa. He cited Quranic verses and asked the Muslims
to become what Allah Almighty has wanted them to be
in the light of Quran. He said all Muslims look up
to the Saudi leadership as the custodians of the
Holy places and thus leaders of all Muslim Ummah.
The Saudi assistant Minister Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah
Al Ammar supported Qazi's voice of concern at the
persecution of Muslim Ummah by the west, saying
enemies wanted to eliminate the Muslims' identity.
He urged upon the Muslims to forge complete unity
among their ranks by rising above all kinds of
differences without which they could not counter the
conspiracies. He said Saudi leadership wanted to
pull entire Ummah on one platform and forge unity
among its ranks. He said Saudi leadership called
Hamas and Al Fatah leadership to sort out their
differences by sitting at the Holy land of Makkah.
He praised both sides for trying to patch up their
differences to counter the Zionists. He expressed
hopes that Muslims would rise to the occasion by
improving their attitudes and renewing their efforts
to overcome their shortcomings and differences, and
once again become a global power.
The reception was attended among others by Hafiz
Hussain Ahmad, Pir Ijaz Hashmi, Hafiz Abdul Rehman
Madani, Maulana Ameer Hamza, Ibtesam Ilahi Zaheer,
Mustafa Ashraf Rizvi, Qari Zawwar Bahadur, and ulema
and scholars representing all schools of thought.
Later, talking to newsmen, Qazi appealed to the
Pakistani people to observe Friday (today) as a
protest day against the Zionists offensive attempt
to demolish Al Aqsa. Terming it a big conspiracy
against the whole Muslim world, Qazi said all ulema
and prayer leaders should create awareness to the
masses about Zionists conspiracies against Muslims
and raise their unanimous protests. He said protests
should be loud enough to realize the patrons of
Israel, the west, that entire Muslim world was
united against its vicious conspiracies.
Qazi asked the OIC leadership to play its role, "if
it had some life left in it."
About his declaration to resign even if nobody else
did, Qazi said he was head of a party and hence
bound by the opinions of party members. He said
resignation issue would be settled once and for all
on Feb 13 at MMA supreme council meeting. He however
said that PPP and PML-N should also be consulted on
resignation issue. He said the basic issue facing
the country was to discharge the armed forces from
political field and redirect them to their
constitutional role so that the widening gulf
between army and people could be bridged and country
could be saved from further chaos and mismanagement.
He said MMA leadership frustrated those elements
that were waiting for the break up of MMA.

Qazi has taken strong exception to proposals about
the replacement of US troops |
|
LAHORE, Feb 02: The MMA president and Ameer of
Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Qazi Hussain Ahmad has
taken strong exception to proposals about the
replacement of US troops with that of armies from
the Islamic world and said such proposals are coming
from the quarters who wish to prove themselves more
loyal to the king than the king himself.
"The United States in not willing to trust General
Pervez Musharraf despite the fact that as many as
750 Pakistani troops have been killed while fighting
the so called US war against terror. The American
mistrust is evident from the recent moves to seek
the Law from Congress to seize Islamabad's military
aid for its failure in controlling the Taliban
influx into Pakistan."
He was delivering Friday sermon at Jamia mosque
Mansoorah. Qazi Hussain Ahmad said media hype
created during the visit of General Pervez Musharraf
to Middle East countries vanished away the hopes
when he pleaded for recognizing Israel on his
return. He is making his utmost effort to sell the
American agenda and secure protection, from
Washington, for his unconstitutional rule in
Pakistan. But, Qazi said, Bush is not willing to
trust him despite all kind support.
Qazi Hussain Ahmad said the root cause of increasing
suicide is not the economic factor rather it is the
mental distress caused due to western wave of
vulgarity unleashed in our bedroom through cable
etc. He said people were more deprived and poor
fifty years ago than today but no one committed
suicide at that time. Now, the capitalist system has
increased divide between the have and haves not.
The MMA leader warned that foreign powers have
pitched the Muslims against each other by fanning
parochial differences amongst them. Due to this
reason, the oblivious youth resort to extreme action
on the basis of provoking speeches. He said the
Muslim Ummah can get back their glory of earlier
days provided they hold the rope of Quran and Sunnah
strongly in their hands.. |

Qazi said the purpose of president Musharraf's visit
to five countries of Middle East was to turn
Palestine into Israel |
|
LAHORE, Jan 26:
The MMA preisdnet and Jamaat-e-Islami ameer Qazi
Hussain Ahmad has said that the purpose of president
Musharraf's visit to five countries of Middle East
was to turn Palestine into Israel. Gen Musharraf is
also trying to solve Kashmir by giving it to India,
he said while delivering Friday sermon at Mansoorah.
Qazi said Musharraf raised slogan of Pakistan First
claiming that its purpose was to become ally of US,
India and Israel but it actually served the
interests of India and Isarel. He said unity of the
nation was extremely necessary to get rid of such
rulers.
Qazi warned that Washington was pushing the whole
world to violence to satisfy her ego of being the
most materially superior country and the American
public looked worried of the situation. Qazi further
warned that in order to get out of Iraq Washington
has a dangerous conspiracy of dividing the country
into Shia, Sunni and Kurd regions, and it also
wanted to spread that conspiracy to whole Muslims
world in order to disintegrate it into small and
easily controllable states.
Qazi said after continuous attacks from Afghan side
into Pakistani territory exposed Musharraf's slogan
of Pakistan First since the country was being
attacked and victimized against India despite
offering all kinds of 'services' and even its
territorial sovereignty and security of its citizens
were not safe.
He said military rulers were shamelessly claiming
responsibility of all the attacks of Nato and Allied
forces from Afghan side killing scores of innocent
civilians while secret agencies were abducting
citizens including senior journalists and nobody
found any clue of them for years. Their families
demonstrating on streets for their release were
beaten up and tortured by police. |

Qazi warns against repercussions of Musharraf visit
to me |
|
LAHORE, Jan 25: The MMA president and
Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Ameer Qazi Hussain Ahmad
has said General Pervez Musharraf is promoting ties
with Israel and India while his actions are making
the institution of army controversial. The
unilateral concessions to India on Kashmir are given
under international pressure. Solution to the
Kashmir problem lies in implementation of the UN
resolutions.
He expressed these views while talking to group of
students from Govt degree college Zhob (Balochistan)
who called on him at Mansoorah the other day. Qazi
Hussain Ahmad said that the opposition can only foil
the anti-Islam agenda of General Pervez Musharraf by
forging unity in its ranks. "We are trying to unite
the opposition on minimum common points so that
military dictatorship in the country could be
brought to an end.
To a question, he said, free and fair elections with
General Pervez Musharraf in the power are
impossible. We believe that elections under
uniformed president will disgruntle the masses and
their belief in positive change through elections
will be badly shattered. Qazi Hussain Ahmad said our
manifesto pleads for proving food, education, health
and other basic necessities to the poor.
He lashed out at Islamabad's failed foreign policy
saying: "dependency of foreign masters has seriously
compromised sovereignty of Pakistan." The killing of
Pakistani soldiers is direct result of this foreign
dependency. |

Anas Noorani calls on JI Ameer |
|
LAHORE, Jan 22: The JUP president and MMA vice
president Shah Anas Noorani Tuesday called on MMA
president and Jamaat-e-Islami ameer Qazi Hussain
Ahmad at Mansoorah.
During the two-hour meeting both the leaders
discussed prevailing political situation and agreed
that Gen Musharraf's continuation in power will
seriously undermine the ideological and geographical
security of the country and unity of the nation.
They stressed that early removal of Musharraf regime
is necessary through launching a forceful mass
movement.
The JUP secretary general Qari Zawwar bahadur and JI
leaders Ch Aslam Saleemi, Liaqat Baloch, Prof
Ghafoor Ahmad, Hafiz Mohammad Idrees, Prof Khurshid
Ahmad, Syed Munawar Hasan, Mian Maqsood Ahmad, Farid
Piracha, Malik Mohammad Ashraf, Khalid Rehman,
Sirajul Haq, Asadullah Bhutto and Dr Mohammad Kamal
were also present during the meeting.
Both the leaders shared consensus on different
political views. Qazi Hussain Ahmad said General
Musharraf has become a serious threat to the
ideological and Islamic identity of the country
since he is imposing US agenda on the country
through his dictatorship and to implement that he is
destroying all moral, social and democratic values.
He said MMA is united and all issues including the
resignation from parliament will be decided in the
meeting of Supreme Council. He said all MMA parties
will participate in Nawaz Sharif's All Parties
Conference from MMA platform.
Qazi Hussain Ahmad also expressed his desire to quit
as MMA president saying his term as president has
expired and if any other leader wishes to become
president he will be glad to leave the office for
him.
He criticized Gen Musharraf for destroying law and
order, promoting price hike and unemployment, and
making lives of people miserable just because of his
dictatorial policies. He said people of Pakistan are
extremely averse to the policies of Musharraf and
ready to support MMA's movement.
Anas Noorani said MMA enjoys widespread public
support because its leadership rejected US agenda
being implemented by Gen Musahrraf's dictatorial
regime. He said MMA leadership is unanimous on
bringing about an Islamic revolution under the
leadership of Qazi Hussain Ahmad. He condemned the
government for committing massacre of innocent
people Tribal Areas like Bajaur and Waziristan,
urging people to get united under the banner of MMA.
Both the leaders condemned demolition of mosques and
arrests of Ulemas particularly senior JUP leader
Shabbir Ahmad Hashmi. They said General Musharraf is
observing un-Islamic celebrations like Basant,
Marathon etc but on the other hand arresting those
Muslims who dared to speak the truth. |

JI demands protection for newsmen |
|
LAHORE, Jan 21: Central Secretary Information
Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Shahid Shamsi has expressed
concern over the increasing incidents of abduction
of journalists in Pakistan.
In a statement on Sunday Shahid Shamsi demanded
tracing where about of missing Editor of an Urdu
daily Sohail Kalandar from Peshawar. He questioned
the tall claims of freedom of expression during the
Musharraf era saying that human right organizations
taking the stock of abuses against media-men have
pointed out that Pakistan was ranked amongst the top
ten countries where life of newsmen is exposed to
dangers.
Shahid Shamsi was of the view that protection of
human life and especially of the newsmen is
imperative for a government which trumpets the
slogans of enlighten moderation and civil liberties.
The kidnapping of citizens by sleuths of state
agencies and silencing the free press by taking them
into custody have always been scar on the face of
every military dictator. |

Qazi addresses IJT annual meeting |
|
LAHORE, Jan 20: The MMA president and ameer
of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Qazi Hussain Ahmad has
said New Delhi is fully backed by the western power
to fortify her illegal occupation over Kashmir. "The
colonial west has launched all out attack against
the Islamic world and exploiting its military might
to enslave the Muslims for coming the decades.
Addressing the annual meeting of Islami Jamiat
Talbaat [IJT] here at Mansoorah on Friday night Qazi
Hussain Ahmad said the US army is entering in our
tribal areas after Iraq and Afghanistan. They can
easily hit any target with the logistic support of
Pakistan; Qazi deplored expressing grave concern
over the cruel practices unleashed by the government
agencies in tribal areas. He said tens of thousand
people are missing in the country. "Despite the
Supreme Court's directives their where about could
not be traced."
Qazi Hussain Ahmad said that the tool of material
advancement is used by the west to change culture
and civilization of Muslims. The rulers are amending
Islamic laws under the western pressure so that the
Muslim society is exposed to anarchy and our family
system is shattered. The west had already seen the
negative impacts of dents in the family unit but it
is not willing to pay heed on it.
This upset, he pointed out, registered substantial
hike in the number of single-parent children in
their society. He urged the girl students to focus
their attention on their education and try to create
awakening in their folks enabling them to counter
the social and cultural onslaught of the west. The
promotion of modest culture is duty of every Muslim
woman, he concluded. |
