Colonial powers punished Pakhtuns for their love for Islam: Baloch

NOWSHERA: Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary-General Liaqat Baloch has said that the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa loved the Shariah and the teachings of the Holy Quran and the Sunnah.

He was addressing the participants of two-day convention of the JI at Azakhel area of Nowshera. Liaqat Baloch said that the colonial powers had adopted different tactics to punish the Pakhtuns for their love for Islam.

He said the enemies of Islam and the secular-liberal elements in the country wanted that the Islam lovers, the mosques and the Madressahs be shut down and Pakistan made a secular state. 

However, he said, the lovers of Islam would safeguard the Islamic character of the country at every cost. Liaqat Baloch said that JI’s “Corruption-Free Pakistan” drive had awakened the masses and exposed the corruption mafia.
