Modi a threat to regional peace, warns JI chief

ISLAMABAD: Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Ameer Senator Sirajul Haq has said that peace in South Asia was facing serious threats in the presence of Indian Prime Minister Modi.
Addressing the Pakistani community in Bradford, Nelson and Burley during his tour to UK, he said extremism and anti-Muslim attitude of Modi had disturbed peace in the region. Modi was an agitator who had made life miserable for Indian and Kashmiri Muslims.
“Modi was killer of thousands of Muslims and Pak-India talks had been sabotaged due to his stubbornness,” the JI media cell quoted Sirajul Haq as saying in UK. Siraj said the Muslims would chase Modi in the US, Europe and other parts of the world and expose his real face.
Sirajul Haq said that Kashmir issue was legacy of the British rulers and had been persisting for the last sixty years. As such, it was responsibility of Britain to play its role in resolving the issue according to the sentiments of the people of Kashmir.
He said the Muslims were target of extremism and terrorism all over the world. They were being killed like fodder. According to the UN report, out of nearly seven lakh refugees all over the world, 70 per cent were Muslims. Yet, ironically, they were being blamed for extremism and terrorism. War had been thrust on the Muslims and their houses and habitations were being demolished. Yet the blame was also put on them.
He said the world would have to change its hypocritical attitude and abandon its anti-Muslim approach.
The JI chief said Islam is the religion of peace and love and Muslims are not against peace and tranquility. Instead, he said, the Muslims had been offering maximum sacrifices for maintenance of peace and security of the humanity.
Sirajul Haq said JI wanted an end to corruption, tyranny and crime in the country and was striving for the rights of the masses.
