Fazl says won’t allow anyone making Pakistan secular

LAHORE: JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rahman has said his party is going to defeat every secular force and will not allow anyone turning Pakistan into a secular state.

Addressing the ‘Islam-o-Aman Conference’ at Jamia Tauheedia Sheikhupura, the Maulana said ulema are the heirs of prophets and they will not allow any secular force enforcing its agenda in Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

He stressed that the US and its allies have blood of millions of Muslims on their hands and the US will have to take back its decision regarding Jerusalem. The Western culture is nothing but a dark pit of ignorance, he added.

He said the state institutions have played a vital role in eliminating lawlessness and uncertainty from the country and it would not have been possible without the cooperation of madrassas.

Ulema have the rightful claim to politics in the country and those working to implement foreign agenda will be rejected by the people. “We are fighting for an ideology of Islamic equality and as long as the landlords and capitalists are holding the country’s economy hostage, the people will not get their rights,” he added.

He said the JUI-F has always fought for the supremacy of Islam and against the domination of Western cultural dominance in the country. “In the coming elections we are up against the secular forces,” he further added.

Calling on his workers and supporters to step up their campaign for the 2018 elections, he said the JUI-F has always called for national unity and believes that in present time there is a need of national reconciliation and unity instead of anarchist actions based on vested interests.

Talking about the issue of finality of Prophethood, he said it’s the integral part of every Muslim’s faith. “We are living in a democracy where there is a parliament, judiciary and other institutions. “Whatever issue there was has been solved by these institutions; therefore, inciting masses would not be in country’s interest,” he said. Maulana Fazlur Rahman said the government has almost completed its tenure and it would not be wise for some political parties to focus their energy on toppling the government.
