Sirajul Haq asks govt to recognize govt of IEA & stop looking towards America & western powers for it

LAHORE, Nov 02 (SABAH): Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Emir Sirajul Haq has demanded the government recognize the government of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and stop looking towards America and western powers for it.

Addressing a national conference on Tuesday, Sirajul Haq said the war-torn country needed reconstruction, peace and stability and it was responsibility of the world to help Taliban in achieving these objectives.

The JUI-S organized the event which was attended by religious leadership across the country. Sirajul Haq addressed as chief guest. The JI chief said the victory of Afghan people over super power pumped a new spirit in the hearts of Muslims and freedom fighters across the world. He reiterated peace in Afghanistan was vital for peace in entire south Asia. He said India was hatching conspiracies to destabilize Afghanistan and Pakistan, asking the government and security forces to remain vigilant to counter the threat.

Sirajul Haq criticized the PTI government for failing to control inflation and unemployment. He said the prime minister promised to transform Pakistan into Madina state but could not fulfill his commitment in three years. He said it had been proved the PTI was also an agent of the status quo. He said there was no difference in the policies of the PTI, the PML-N and the PPP as they all failed to meet the expectations of masses during their rule over country.

“Pakistan needs Islamic system,” he said, asking the religious leaders to pay their role to transform the country into Islamic welfare state dreamt by its founding father and millions of Muslims of this region. He said the JI was struggling hard to achieve the objective and it would continue its movement against the anti-people policies of the ruling elite.
