Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Senator Sirajul Haq has said that the rulers were playing with fire by including the Qadiyanis in the Minorities’ Commission as the nation would offer any sacrifice to protect the Khatam-e-Nubuwwat.
Addressing the Jumma congregation at the Mansoora mosque, he said that the Qadiyanis were rebels because they did not accept themselves as a minority as declared by the Constitution.
“We will not accept a commission with a Qadiyani member,” he declared. He said the nation would not spare the elements patronising the Qadyanis in any manner. He said the JI would take up the issue in the Senate and the National Assembly.
Sirajul Haq said that before including the Qadiyanis in the Minorities’ Commission and granting them the rights at par with the other minorities, the government should make the Qadiyanis accept themselves as a minority.
Stressing the need of the Islamic system in the country, Sirajul Haq said that Islam did not simply believe in individual piety but called for evolving a system built on the Islamic teachings in every sphere of life. He said the present system had given humanity nothing except exploitation and injustice and the JI wanted a system free from injustice, a system where in the poor could get equal opportunities for justice, education health, business and jobs.
It wanted the courts to decide cases in line with the Shariah and an economy free from usury. The JI is struggling for a social system wherein earning livelihood through Halal means was easy and Haram was difficult.
Meanwhile, the JI chief also visited the relief camp of the Al-Khidmat Foundation at Gulshan Ravi. He was accompanied by JI Lahore chief Zikrullah Mujahid, JI Youth Secretary General Shahid Naveed Malik and JI Information Secretary Qaisar Sharif.
Talking to the media on the occasion, Sirajul Haq commended the Al-Khidmat and JI Youth volunteers for providing door to door ration including fresh vegetables to the deserving families affected by the lock down. He expressed the hope that these volunteers would continue their services with greater zeal and enthusiasm so that no household remained deprived of ration. He reminded them that service to humanity was the essence of piety.
JI Deputy Chief Liaqat Baloch has said that in spite of the reports of the international institutions regarding religious discrimination in India and violations of minorities rights there, the atrocities of the Hindu extremists were increasing and the Muslims were their special target.
Talking to different delegations at Mansoora, he said that life of the Kashmiri Muslims had been made miserable and aggression at the line of control was the manifestation of Modi’s fascism. He expressed the hope that the UN, the US and Europe would take practical measures against India including economic and military sanctions.
Referring to the government’s strategy on lockdown due to coronavirus, he said that from the very first day, Prime Minister Imran Khan had been following a U-turn strategy as the premier’s announcements were quite different from what was happening in the field. This, he said, was giving an impression that practically the prime minister was out of the state affairs but the federal government was continuing a hypocritical strategy in this respect.
