JI stages sit-in against hangings in Bangladesh

LAHORE: The Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) on Sunday staged a protest sit-in against the recent hangings of anti-separation leaders in Bangladesh.
JI Ameer Sirajul Haq said on this occasion that the government is guilty of criminal negligence over the issue of these hangings. He urged the international community to take notice of the situation in Bangladesh.
A large number of workers attended JI’s protest rally outside the Masjid-e-Shuhada. Addressing the rally, Sirajul Haq said that patriots sacrificed a lot to prevent the implementation of the conspiracy to split East Pakistan from West Pakistan. He said that the struggle was not for power but to save the Pakistan of the Quaid-i-Azam and Allama Iqbal.
Condemning the government’s attitude over the hangings carried out in Bangladesh, Siraj said that 4,000 people are still in Bangladesh jails and 25 have been sentenced to death but the Pakistan government is still a silent observer.
The speakers at the protest sit-in said that Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Haseena Wajid has been working on the completion of the Indian agenda but the blood of the martyrs will not go in vain and injustice will end in Bangladesh.
