Siraj flays Nawaz for ‘liberal’ statement, ‘secretly’ meeting Modi

LAHORE
Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Senator Sirajul Haq has strongly condemned Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for not taking back his statement on his resolve to make the country secular and liberal, and his secret meeting with Indian Prime Minister and killer of Muslims, Narendra Modi.
Prime Minister must keep in mind that over two million people sacrificed their lives for establishing this country for practicing Islam and their generations could also make every sacrifice for protecting its Islamic identity, he said while delivering Friday sermon at Mansoora Masjid.
He lamented that a prime minister, who is the head of the same party which created Pakistan, was now destroying country’s identity only to please the West and the Indians, which amounted to put country’s security at stake by making the 1973 Constitution controversial. He said the prime minister should keep in mind that Constitution had acknowledged Islam as country’s official religion and its name is Islamic Republic of Pakistan; therefore, anyone challenging this status should not be country’s prime minster but something else.
Siraj referred to different surveys carried out by western and international NGOs and said they showed that over 86 percent people wanted Islamic system instead of secularism, capitalism and other man-made systems which had badly failed in providing solution to people's problems. He said the forces opposed to Islam had acknowledged that it is the only religion that provides solution to all the problems of human beings.
He said it was strange that prime minister had not yet taken back his statement or clarified that it was merely a slip of tongue and not his genuine intentions. He said what could be more unfortunate for a country that its prime minister had been consciously and willingly trying to change its ideology and constitutional identity. He warned that supremacy and the rule of the Constitution in the country could only be established when those deviating from the Constitution should be given exemplary punishments. He reiterated that world powers had waged a vicious war against Islam and Turkey-Russia tension could be highly dangerous for world peace. He said Paris attacks were another ploy to subjugate and destroy Muslim countries to plunder their wealth.
He warned that corrupt and extremist groups were out to lure the people of Karachi in the coming LG elections, adding that the people had a golden opportunity to reject such people and elect honest leadership.
