ISLAMABAD, March 9: Ameer, Jamaat-e-Islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq, has said that Pakistan and its borders have become a centre of war due to the wrong policies of the rulers, saying that religious people are not involved in terrorism. Sirajul Haq was expressing these views while addressing the Supreme Council of the Milli Yakjehti Council (MYC) at Islamabad on Thursday. He said that Islam is the name of security and establishing the system of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the treatment of terrorism.
The meeting was presided over by the MYC chief Sahibzada Abul Khair Dr Muhammad Zubair. It was attended by Allama Sajid Naqvi, Khurram Nawaz Gandapur, Liaqat Baloch, Hafiz Aakif Saeed, Hafiz Abdur Rahman Makki and Hafiz Ibtesam Elahi Zaheer.
Sirajul Haq said that the rulers are claiming the gains in the terror war for themselves but are blaming the armed forces for the failures.
He said that after the Soviet Union’s defeat, the NATO Secretary General had declared that Islam was their next target and added that the current wars were being fought under this policy; these included the wars in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen. However, he said that the present rulers are not bold enough to defend the country.
Sirajul Haq said the death toll in the so- called war on terror is much more than that of the 1965 and 1971 wars put together but the government has no plan for the families of the around 65 thousand martyrs who have lost their dear ones in this war.
He said that whenever somebody talked against the rulers, the ministers came forward for their defense. However, he said, there is none to speak against the blasphemy of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). He paid tributes to Mr. Justice Shaukat Siddiqui of the Islamabad High Court for summoning the Interior Minister on the blasphemy issue.
Sirajul Haq said that Pak- Afghan talks are inevitable. He said that India is using Afghanistan against this country and India and Israel are the beneficiaries of this conflict. – Agencies
