JI has been given nothing but dates, Aab-e-Zam Zam by KSA: Siraj

LAHORE: The Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Ameer Sirajul Haq said on Sunday that it was surprising that the rulers had received steel mills as gifts and “we have been receiving nothing but dates and Aab-e-Zam Zam from Saudi Arabia”.

Addressing the Ulema and Mashaikh Conference organised by the JI at Mansoora, Siraj said for the last 70 years, Pakistan was being run by those who had shown loyalty to the British rulers and betrayed their own nation. He said the Mashaikh gathered at Mansoora had agreed to the programme of the JI mission to end the hold of dictators, feudal lords and Waderas and for the enforcement of Nizam-e-Mustafa (PBUH). He said the Ulema had also resolved to pull the country out of regional, ethnic and sectarian differences and to promote unity, brotherhood and cohesion in the society.

The JI chief said the enemy was trying to weaken the Ummah by creating dissent and disunity among the Muslims and wanted to destroy this country as it had done with Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. Therefore, he said, the shrines and spiritual seats could be an effective force against the enemy designs.

Siraj said the JI wanted accountability of all the plunderers including those mentioned in the PanamaLeaks and other corruption scandals. The JI leader said the seats of religious and spiritual learning were a big force and had played a great role in the Pakistan Movement. He said had the Sufia and religious scholars not supported Quaid-i-Azam, Pakistan would have remained a dream. 

The Ulema and spiritual leaders from all over the country attending the Ulema and Mashaikh Conference resolved to revive the Pakistan Movement to make Pakistan a true Islamic welfare state and for the enforcement of Nizam-e-Mustafa.

A declaration unanimously adopted at the moot chaired by Sirajul Haq pronounced that the enforcement of the Nizam-e-Mustafa was the goal and ultimate objective of the people of the country. The conference strongly condemned the terrorist activities all over the Muslim world and underscored the need for Muslim unity and impressed upon all the lovers of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) to rise above petty differences and promote an atmosphere of love, tolerance and accommodation. The moot declared that the JI was not the party of any specific sect and schools of thought. It represented all schools of Islamic thought and the Mashaikh were ready to work with it.
