If Zardari has time off from efforts to capture presidency, should take notice of Indian atrocities against Kashmiri: JI
|
|
LAHORE, Aug 27: Jamaat-e-Islami has asked PPP co-chairperson Asif Zardari that if he has some time off from his efforts to capture presidency and state institutions, he should take notice of Indian army atrocities against Kashmiri Muslims who had laid down valuable sacrifices for Pakistan.JI central information secretary Ameerul Azeem, in a statement on Wednesday, said PPP owed an obligation to lodge protest with India against its army's cruelty on Kashmiris, and to expose ugly face of Indian democracy and secularism before the world.
Azeem said India was unleashing the worst state terrorism and cruelties against Kashmiris to crush their freedom struggle. Millions of Kashmiris were demonstrating before UN observers despite curfew which amounted to a referendum against India clearly showing India would no longer be able to keep Kashmir occupied. But still Islamabad and Muzaffarabad governments were unmoved, displaying a criminal silence despite the clear signals feeling all over the world that the dawn of Kashmiris' freedom was now very close.
He said Musharraf's policies was still continued as Islamabad was supporting Delhi despite that Hindus of Jammu had clamped economic blockade of Kashmiri Muslims, plundering and arson their shops and businesses and properties, opening fire on their rallies amidst a media blackout of all that was happening in Kashmir.
Azeem said JI fully supported Kashmiris freedom struggle as the whole Muslim Ummah was also behind them, except for the Muslim rulers. He said JI Azad Kashmir ameer Abdul Rasheed Turabi reached LoC on Wednesday, overcoming all the hurdles and obstacles by police to express solidarity with Kashmiri Muslims.
Praising JI AJK workers and leaders for their valuable display of solidarity with Kashmiris, Azeem condemned the world community for displaying a criminal silence over worst violations of human rights by India in Kashmir.

| Qazi welcomes Nawaz Sharif's decision, presidential candidate
|
|
LAHORE, Aug 25:Jamaat-e-Islami ameer Qazi Hussain Ahmad said breaking up of the ruling coalition comprising unnatural allies was bound to happen sooner or later.
In a statement on Monday, the JI leader said the saddest part of the story was that Asif Zardari not only broke all his promises and commitments, but with them he broke the hearts and hopes of the whole nation. Now, the unfortunate and bewildered nation was faced with a presidential candidate who had proved himself to be a habitual liar who never honor promises and commitments, and who was proved new horse of Washington and establishment after the exit of Gen Musharraf.
Qazi announced support to the PML-N's presidential candidate saying all five JI senators would vote for Justice Retd Saeed-uz-zaman Siddiqi. He said Nawaz Sharif did the right thing at the end since there was no other option left for him. Qazi praised Nawaz for giving more than ample time to Zardari to honor his promises before dissociating from the ruling coalition.
Qazi said the need of the hour was to take the masses along to wage a peaceful democratic struggle for restoration of judges and the supremacy of the constitution and parliament. He warned that hidden hands and powers that be would snatch the fortunes of hapless masses again if parliamentary figures and number game were relied upon.

| JI media wizard calls for unseating Zardari from Senate
|
|
LAHORE, August 25: "The Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) is duty bound to file a case of disqualification to unseat the PPP co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari from Senate for not fulfilling his written commitments made with regard to restoration of deposed judges."
This demand was made by Jamaat-e-Islami central secretary information Ameerul Azim in a statement on Monday. Ameerul Azim pointed out that constitutional provision 63 stipulates that a corrupt and lair person cannot become member of the assembly. "Nominating a person with such notorious credentials for the office of president of Pakistan is nothing short of mocking the very genesis of the constitution."
He said it would be great injustice to Pakistan if a person like Asif Zardari enters the Awan-e-Sadr. Mr. ten per cent had earned the repute of Corruption King in the past. He had been on trial for numerous graft cases in local and foreign courts. All the patriotic forces of Pakistan should try hard to block the way of Mr. Zardari's election as president of Pakistan.
The Jamaat leader called upon the PML (N) to expose the deceit and hypocrisy of the PPP and urged the masses not to pin hopes for any good to this so called peoples' party. Ameerul Azim deplored that country had been ruled by such people who preferred their personal interests over the national cause. They, he said, had always reinforced dictators and hit-hard the cause of democracy.
"They get to the parliament by deceitfully taking votes from the public and when elected they start the exploitation of them. Now the PPP is doing the same with the nation," the statement concluded.

|
|
LAHORE, Aug 25: Jamaat-e-Islami ameer Qazi Hussain Ahmad has condemned the arrest of Kashmiri leaders Syed Ali Gillani, Mir Waez Omer Farooq and Yasin Malik by the Indian army ahead of protest demonstrations' call in the Indian Held Kashmir on Monday. He also took strong exception to direct fire on the protestors.
In a statement on Monday the JI leader said that New Delhi is violating all the norms of humanity and human rights in order to crush the freedom struggle of Kashmiris. He said the march of tens of thousands Kashmiris towards the Pakistani side of Azad Kashmir is ample proof that the struggling people of Kashmir would not rest until they secure independence from Indian yoke.
Qazi Hussain Ahmad blasted the mum of UN, world human right bodies and the government of Pakistan towards the maltreatment being meted out to Kashmiris who are fighting for their right of self determination. Kashmiris, he said, are fighting the war of Pakistan. Leaving them destitute and unattended in their hour of need would be great injustice towards their cherished dream of joining to Pakistan. In this backdrop, he opined, any effort of normalizing relations, through trade and exchange of cultural trope with the India, would not pay.
He lauded the freedom struggle of Kashmiris who dared to break the curfew and came on streets to protest against the Indian injustices towards the majority Muslim population of the Held valley. He said opening direct fire on the protestors speaks of New Delhi desperation and failure in handling the entire episode.
Qazi appealed to the freedom-loving world community and international bodies like United Nations to take serious note of human rights violations by the Indian army in occupied Kashmir. "It is the duty of UN to help the Kashmiri acquire their right to self determination which was accorded to them through the resolutions by the UN itself."

Talking to Jamaat's central secretary information Ameerul Azim on phone, Begum Qazi Hussain Ahmad said that camps set up in Dargai, Timergarh, Samr Bagh, Jandol, Manda and Chakdarr are presenting scene of open-sky jails where men, women and children are herded in the camps without taking care about their food, clothing and other amenities of life. She said due to lack of sanitation and non availability of facilities for the waste disposal, the inmates of these camps are prone to epidemics.
She expressed sorrow over the fact that score of pregnant women are also amongst the displaced. No proper medical care is available for such ladies which has increased the dangers of death during delivery. None other than Jamaat-e-Islami and its social welfare network Al-Khidmat took note of the plight of these displaced people. She said the displaced people hold Pakistan army responsible for all the mess. Youth is raged due to displacement of their ladies and if the rulers did not stop the army operation than the wrath of people would lead to disastrous situation.
The JI women leaders condemned the role of women bodies that just for the sake of cheap publicity harbor deserted girls and now are keeping tactful mum over this catastrophic situation emerging in the North.
