Religious leaders stress enforcement of Islamic system in country

LAHORE

Leaders of religious parties in the country stressed the need for enforcing Nizam-e-Mustafa in the country, declaring that without it no political system in the country could ever succeed in enforcing good governance and justice.

Addressing the nationwide “Imam Noorani Convention” at Aiwan-e-Iqbal on Sunday under the aegis of Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan (JUP), the religious leadership stressed that no struggle for Nizam-e-Mustafa could prove fruitful without forging unity among religious parties. The convention was presided over by JUP president Pir Ijaz Hashmi while party secretary general Shah Awais Noorani was chief guest. The JUP leadership also announced to launch a countrywide “enforcement of Nizam-e-Mustafa movement” in the country very soon.

The joint communiqué at the convention warned the government against any misadventure towards amending the blasphemy laws. The communiqué stressed upon the need for forging an MMA-like religious political alliance to counter the global conspiracy of secularising Pakistan and amending all the Islamic legislations in the laws of land. It demanded transparent investigation into the corruption allegations on rulers, politicians, bureaucracy and other powerful elite. Reminding the PML-N government that interest was an open war against Almighty Allah and His Prophet (PBUH), it demanded the government to withdraw its petition against the federal Shariat Court judgment of declaring the interest-based economic system unconstitutional and illegal. It also demanded that controversial women protection bill of Punjab Assembly should be amended with the consultation of all schools of thought to bring it in line with the Islamic tenets. It demanded immediate rehabilitation of IDPs of the Fata military operations and demanded either Fata should be annexed with KP or declared a separate province to upgrade its status.

Pir Ijaz Hashmi said Panama Leaks were a global conspiracy to divert public attention from the arrest of serving Indian Navy agent working for subversion activities in Balochistan province, and demanded Islamabad should raise the issue at global level. He said Indian direct involvement in all kinds of terrorist and subversive activities in Pakistan had been proved time and again but the rulers had been hesitating to raise the issue before the world. He said 99 percent Pakistanis wanted Islamic system in country and not that which indulged in dance and music. JUP would bring change through power of vote and by taking the people along in the political struggle. He vowed to uphold the flag raised by Imam Noorani and Maulana Abdul Sattar Niazi. Shah Awais Noorani said JUP would not allow White House dictation enforced in Pakistan but instead enforce Nizam-e-Mustafa in the country. He said killings and lawlessness in Balochistan, Karachi and Fata were part of New World Order and asked all the justice loving people to resist the US injustices at every level. Referring to 37 Indian consulates established in war-torn Afghanistan in the cities and towns close to Pakistani borders, he said it was directly linked with the Indo-US collusion to destabilise Pakistan and spoke for itself regarding the unending terrorism in the country.

He said US, Israel and India had waged an unannounced war against Muslim world in the garb of 9-11, and also imposed Black Water like private armies comprising professional killers inside Pakistani territory to carry out the terrorism and subversion. He demanded establishing peace in Fata and Balochistan, restoring industrial and business activities there, and providing jobs to local educated youths on priority basis. Jamaat-e-Islami ameer Senator Sirajul Haq said without first banning the corrupt from politics the dream of enforcing genuine democracy in the country could never be realised. He alleged that corrupt rulers had turned Pakistan into a US colony and market for Indian goods. 

He lauded the great services of JUP founding president Maulana Shah Ahmad Noorani and Maulana Abdul Sattar Niazi for the enforcement of Nizam-e-Mustafa in the country, and said religious forces in the country would never allow the ugly designs of secular lobbies funded by western countries to change Pakistan’s Islamic ideology. Siraj emphasised that few family dynasties had hijacked and kept hostage democracy in the country, adding that it was time the masses should rise against the rulers. JUP Punjab president Qari Zawwar Bahadur warned that enemies of Islam had made sectarianism as their main weapon against Pakistani Muslims, adding that terrorism and extremism had marred the beautiful face of Islam. He stressed Muslim unity to ward off the enemy advances. The convention was also addressed by other noted religious leaders.
