Hafiz Naeemur Rehman inaugurates Jamaat-e-Islami’s nationwide membership campaign

LAHORE, Sep 02 (SABAH): Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Emir Engineer Hafiz Naeemur Rehman while speaking to the media on the occasion of the inauguration of the nationwide membership campaign at Mansoorah, announced that Jamaat-e-Islami will create five million new members in four provinces, and in the second phase, public committees will be created.

Secretary General JI Ameerul Azim, Naib Emir Dr. Osama Razi, Adviser to Emir Jamaat on Political Affairs Dr. Farid Ahmed Paracha, Deputy Secretary General JI Azhar Iqbal Hassan, Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Usman Farooq, Secretary Information JI Qaisar Sharif and others were also present on this occasion.

Hafiz Naeemur Rehman said that the IPPs were patronized in the governments of PP, PML-N and PTI, they are not only receiving capacity charges equal to the defense budget but they were also given tax exemptions worth billions.

He said what kind of cruel system is it where people’s blood is squeezed, a mountain of tax is imposed on the salaried and IPPs and landlords are exempted from tax, such a big fraud will not be tolerated.

He said that the present system consists of oppression and injustice as a whole and the classes imposed on it, whether they are in the form of institutions or in the form of landlords, they provide protection. He said what is needed is to mobilize the people at the grassroots level and get rid of this corrupt system and its guards.

Hafiz Naeemur Rehman said that during the membership campaign the youth will be specially focused, make women members. He said there is no need for the youth to be disappointed, though the doors of education, health, employment and justice are closed for them in the current situation but leaving the country worried and disappointed is not a solution to the problem at all.

Hafiz Naeemur Rehman said that the whole nation is aware of the service of Jamaat-e-Islami, we are providing free IT courses to millions of youths, boys and girls across the country through Bano Qabil program, our organized and dynamic wings are women and minority wing.

Hafiz Naeemur Rehman also emphasized that Jamaat-e-Islami will prioritize the inclusion of youth and women in its ranks. Land reforms and electoral reforms, he noted, will be key agenda items in the party’s upcoming movement.

Hafiz Naeemur Rehman reiterated that those who came to power through electoral rigging or manipulation, such as the misuse of Form 47, are incapable of delivering true progress. He called on the ruling elite to either admit their failures or face the consequences, as Jamaat-e-Islami, backed by the public, is determined to bring real change to the country.
