LAHORE Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Senator Sirajul Haq said if Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was able to bring back Dr Aafia Siddiqui on his return from US, the nation would consider his tour a success. Prime Minister must raise Dr Aafia Siddiqui’s issue at the UN General Assembly and apprise the world of the oppression on the Muslims going on in Kashmir, Palestine and Myanmar, he said while talking to media during a visit to Darul Shafqat, Orphanage at Yatim Khana Chowk on Eid. The JI chief spent some time with orphanage children and presented them gifts. He said there were more than four million orphans in the country and it was the state responsibility to look after the widows and orphans and arrange their education and upbringing. However, he said, that primarily, this job was being done by NGOs, welfare bodies with the cooperation of the philanthropists and the general public. However, he said, this was a huge job and could not be performed without the support of the government. Earlier, delivering Eid sermon at Mansoora mosque, Sirajul Haq said Muslim Ummah would have to unite for the solution of its problems. He said the West, the US or Europe would not solve the problems of the Muslim world. He said despite being a nuclear power, Pakistan had been unable to mitigate the sufferings of the Kashmiris and about 800,000 Indian troops in Held Kashmir were perpetrating untold atrocities on the Kashmiri Muslims. Kashmir was the most oppressed region in the world and the UN had not bothered to arrange plebiscite there in accordance with its resolutions. He said that the double standards of the West and their discriminatory attitude towards the Muslims were the biggest threat to the world peace. He said the blood of the Muslims was being shed in Kashmir, Palestine, Myanmar, while war was going on in Syria, Yemen and Iraq because of the conspiracies of the US and Israel. As long as the Muslims failed to make the infidel powers accept them as one Ummah, they would continue to be the victim of the enemy conspiracies, he added.
