JI announces Al-Quds million march against Trump’s fiat

LAKKI MARWAT: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) head Senator Sirajul Haq has announced to launch Al-Quds million march in Karachi on December 17 against the United States President Donald Trump for declaring Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Addressing a gathering in Naurang town, he said the leadership of Muslim countries was in the hands of coward rulers, who lacked the courage to raise voice against President Trump's decision.

JI provincial deputy head Dr Iqbal Khalil, Advisor to JI Chief Intikhab Khan Chamkani, Tehsil Councillor Azizullah Khan and Mufti Irfanullah also spoke on the occasion.

The JI chief asked the rulers of Muslim countries to forge unity in their ranks and never allow the handover of Masjid-e-Aqsa to Israel.

"The Muslim rulers should announce boycott of the American products and sever diplomatic ties with the United States," he maintained, adding that the Muslim world should force the US president to change his decision.

"The decision has hurt the feelings of Muslims across the world. The time is ripe for the military alliance headed by Pakistan's former chief of army staff General (retired) Raheel Sharif to announce Jihad for independence of Al-Quds," Sirajul Haq added.

Demanding across the board accountability, the JI chief said that all 436 people named in Panama Papers Leaks should be held accountable and those who faced corruption references should be barred from contesting next general election.

He said that he had advised former prime minister Nawaz Sharif to resign when their names were mentioned in Panama Papers leaks. He also demanded that those who looted national wealth had no right to sit in assemblies.
