Islamabad mainly responsible for Maulana Nizami’s martyrdom: JI chief

LAHORE: Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami Sirajul Haq said that the biggest factor behind the execution of JI Bangladesh chief Maulana Motiur Rahman Nizami was the total indifference of the Pakistan government and not the BD- India collusion.

He was talking to a delegation of the Ulema who called on him at Mansoora to offer their condolences on the martyrdom of Maulana Nizami. Siraj said had the Pakistan government moved the International Court of Justice in the light of the tripartite agreement of 1974, these executions would have been stopped. He said if the rulers in Islamabad had raised their voice against this injustice at world level, the justice loving countries would have supported them. However, he said, that the rulers kept on saying that these trials were an internal issue of Bangladesh.

On the other hand, he said Maulana Motiur Rahman had been hanged on the charge of supporting the invader and the occupying army. He said that India wanted the continuity of Hasina Wajid’s rule in Bangladesh at every cost so that an Islamic state could not emerge in her neighbourhood. He said that Maulana Nizami had neither filed an appeal for mercy before Hasina Wajid an Indian puppet, nor had he accepted his defence for Pakistan as a crime.

JI chief said that Maulana Nizami’s execution had strengthened the Islamic movement in Bangladesh and time was not far when an Islamic revolution would dawn from there and Hasina Wajid would meet a terrible end. He said that Hasina Wajid was victimising the Islamic leadership only to please the Hindus on her soil. 

He said thousands of JI workers including women were in jails and were being tortured. He said that if the Pakistan government did not raise its voice for their release, Dhaka regime could demand Pak Army officers for similar trials.

Siraj, however, said that nothing good was expected from the rulers in Islamabad under whose supervision, Indian culture was being promoted.

He said that the Pakistani media was even more vulgar and obscene that the Indian films and dramas and the whole country had been turned into a cinema house under the official patronage.
