People like Donald Trump portray themselves as champions of peace by providing aid to Israel, says Jamaat-e-Islami chief
Lahore:
Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman has said that if any attempt is made in Pakistan to recognize Israel at any level, it will be a red line of the Pakistani nation, Jamaat-e-Islami will strongly resist any such attempt.
Addressing a press conference in Mansoura, Lahore, Hafiz Naeem said that India is a terrorist state, Israel and India are jointly pursuing policies of occupation. The silence of Arab countries and the OIC on the ongoing massacre in Palestine is criminal, they should give a clear threat to Israel to stop terrorism.
He said that some ministers in Pakistan are talking about talks or recognition with Israel to please America, although the role of America and Israel in Palestine has been openly exposed. Dozens of Palestinians are being martyred every day, children and women are being bombed, while people like Donald Trump show themselves as champions of peace by providing aid to Israel.
Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami demanded that the government clarify what its policy is regarding Israel.
Hafiz Naeem said that India is continuously abusing Kashmir and bilateral relations are of no use until the Kashmir issue is resolved. He said that there is no need to talk to India for the trade of onions and tomatoes, if there is to be talk, then it should be done only on Kashmir.
He further said that democracy is being made a mockery in the country, seats are being distributed in KP and Punjab, election symbols of some parties have been disappeared and their leaders are being kept in jails. He said that claims of reducing electricity and petrol prices are just a lie, instead of seven rupees, only three rupees have been reduced while the nation is supporting twenty-five thousand people of the FBR.
The Amir of Jamaat-e-Islami said that the state of education and health in the country is bad, farmers are suffering losses on sugarcane, cotton and wheat crops, government employees are being deprived of pensions while Shehbaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz are naming national institutions after themselves.
Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman said that Jamaat-e-Islami will emerge as a major political force in the future. If local government bodies are not elected by the people, it will be hooliganism. He said that if the judiciary is unable to implement the constitution, the government will have to admit its failure. State institutions should stop making citizens disappear, otherwise corruption will spread further.
