Central Shoora of JI calls upon govt to withdraw its decision to accord MFN status to India & extend its full support to Kashmir liberation movement
LAHORE, (SANA): The Central Shoora of the Jamaat-e-Islami, Pakistan has called upon the government to withdraw its decision to accord Most Favourite Nation status to India and extend its full support to the Kashmir liberation movement as a party in the Kashmir dispute.
The Shoora, through a resolution, said that Pakistan’s weak Kashmir policy besides the apathy of the UN and the world community were responsible for the continuing brutalities of the occupation forces on the Kashmiris.
The Shoora expressed its concern over India’s military exercises and unusual troops movement on the Pakistan’s eastern border and said that India, under the patronage of the US, was preparing for some heinous plot against Pakistan’s solidarity while Islamabad was keen to expand trade with India.
A second resolution adopted by the Shoora called upon the government to withdraw the case against Mumtaz Qadri for murdering Salman Taseer under public interest and urged the President to announce amnesty for Qadri like many other cases especially under the NRO. The Shoora said that the Pakistani nation stood united on the issue of the sanctity of the Holy Prophet. The secular forces within the country and abroad had been trying hard for the repeal of the Blasphemy law protecting the sanctity of the Holy Prophet (pbuh). It said that three previous regimes had attempted to amend the law but failed to do that under strong public pressure.
It also urged the government to make a categorical announcement that the Blasphemy law wont be changed and said that Europe and the US should be told point blank to stop criticizing this law for being an internal matter. .
It said that Mumtaz Husain Qadri had gunned down ex-Punjab Governor Salman Taseer for criticizing the Blasphemy law in line with the sentiments of the masses.
On the other hand, President Zardari had termed Salman Taseer a hero and the trial court awarded death sentence to Mumtaz Qadri which had shocked the people. It said that cases against thousands of criminals and politicians had been withdrawn under the NRO whereas Mumtaz Qadri was not given any such concession.
In a third resolution, the JI Shoora expressed complete solidarity with the Palestinians struggling for liberation and said that the way to liberation passed through Jehad. It said that the talks of the Palestinians leaders with the Zionists during the last 64 years had only sabotaged the Palestinians’ freedom movement. The Shoora appealed to the Palestinians to unite on the one point agenda of independence and adopt a unified strategy for achieving the goal. It also urged the Egyptian government to reject the policies of the former dictator and announce end of the Gaza siege and opening of Rafah border.
The Shoora also appealed to the Muslim countries not to tolerate any internal or foreign forces to disturb regional peace. It especially stressed that all Muslim states including Turkey and Pakistan should make special efforts to promote regional and religious tolerance and harmony. The Shoora was of the view that this was the time to foil the enemy’s nefarious designs and also for the promotion of faith.
