Sirajul Haq commends the directives issued by the top court on election matter

PESHAWAR, Nov 02 (SABAH): Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Emir Sirajul Haq has commended the directives issued by the top court on election matter, saying the Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Qazi Faez Isa has played a crucial role in eliminating the confusion that had prevailed regarding the poll schedule.

During a press conference held on Thursday, Sirajul Haq called for an OIC summit on the Gaza situation, urging the leaders of the Islamic world to take concrete actions to halt the Israeli atrocities in the Gaza Strip. He stressed that history would never absolve them if the rulers of the Muslim world remain passive in the face of the unjust killings of innocent Palestinians.

He expressed his admiration for the widespread support shown by people worldwide for the Palestinians. He highlighted that such solidarity persists despite the dominance of social and traditional media by pro-Israel influential lobbies. Sirajul Haq lamented that the rulers had failed to advocate for the Palestinian cause in line with the desires of the nation. He highlighted the overt support of the US for Israeli aggression, resulting in the deaths of over 8,000 individuals, including 6,000 women and children. He questioned why the rulers of the Islamic world, despite full backing from Western governments for the aggressors, were hesitant to take practical steps to aid the people of Palestine.

The JI leader said the politics of the ruling parties centered around wealth, with elections being bought to secure positions of power for personal gain. He criticized the rulers for refusing to compromise on their luxuries, which were funded by state resources, burdening the masses with the responsibility of repaying national debts.

Sirajul Haq emphasized that the political parties which ruled the country for decades would not offer any solutions if they came to power again. He said the JI would stage another pro-Palestine historic rally in Lahore on November 19.
