US, India destabilizing Baluchistan situation

LAHORE, July 18: ensitive area is the centre of colonial powers’ conspiracies while the federal and the provincial governments are helpless and a total failure, Jamaat e Islami Secretary General, Liaquat Baloch said here Sunday. He was talking to a delegation of the JI workers from Ja’ferabad, Kohlu and Chaghi, at Mansoora. Describing Habib Jalib’s murder as a deep conspiracy, he said the powers trying to destabilize Pakistan in order to prove it a failed state were behind the terrorist and subversive activities here. The murder of Nawab Akbar Bugti and the target killing of other Baluch leaders was in fact the murder of the peoples will and their democratic approach, he added. He said the US and India were actively involved in the subversive activities in Baluchsitan . He said the Baluchsitan had its importance because of the Gowadar port and land route to the Central Asia. Unfortunately, he said, the present civil and elected government was continuing to the wrong policy of the military dictator in the province which was a serious national crime. Liaquat Baluch wondered why the provincial government was so helpless in spite of having all parties representation, why the Baluchistan situation had not calmed down despite the announcement of Baluchistan package and the NFC award and why the province was not being given its royalty for its minerals. The delegation demanded end to the military operation besides the corruption and nepotism by ministers in the provision of government jobs, \ recovery of missing persons, release of Gowadar leader Saeed Baluch, and searching out a political solution of the Baluchistan situation.

JI for all out support to Kashmiris’ freedom movement

LAHORE, July 9: The Jamaat e Islami chief, Syed Munawar Hasan, has stressed upon the government and the people of Pakistan to extend all out support to the Kashmiris’ freedom movement and lodging strong protest against India’s on-going repression in the valley. Kashmir is a disputed territory and the Kashmiris have come out on roads in spite of curfew against India’s illegal occupation. They want an end to India’s 60 years hold in Kashmir and the government and the people of Pakistan should rise in their support, he said while addressing Friday congregation at Mansoora mosque. The Kashmiris, he said, were fighting Pakistan’s war and to complete the agenda of the Pakistan movement and they were united under the leadership of veteran leader Syed Ali Shah Gilani. He announced that the JI would hold Kashmir Seminars in big cities to highlight the importance of the Kashmir issue and to demonstrate complete solidarity with the Kashmiris in their heroic struggle. Reiterating that the JI would attend the proposed APC, he however stressed that Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani should implement the Parliament’s unanimous resolution on the national situation before holding a fresh APC. He said the JI condemned terrorism in the country. However, he held Black Water and US and Indian agencies responsible for that. He said the government circles named foreign agencies at their closed door meetings but were not ready to make this public. He said the ISI chief had openly talked of foreign hand in terrorism and had called for a foreign policy review. It was high time to give up this hypocritical attitude, he added. He said if any defunct organisation was involved in terrorism, why was the Interior Ministry not taking action against that. Syed Munawar Hasan said a Muslim could never think of attacking Data shrine as such places were highly respected in the Muslim society. Actually, he said, the US after facing a defeat in Afghanistan, wanted to trigger civil war in this country. However, he said, the sooner the US accepted its defeat, the better it would be for the US itself and this region.
Liaquat Baloch said the Washington Post report was the US reaction to Islamabad’s reply that Pakistan army alone would decide about military operation in North Waziristan for which US has been pressing since long.
be wise enough to immediately abandon Pervez Musharraf’s policy of acting as the US Front line ally and stop the military operation in Tribal areas. He said the Tribal people were the sword arm of this country and loyal to this Islamic state. With the end of the military operation, these very Tribal people would foil the US’s nefarious designs, he said.

Pakistan to prove US's graveyard

LAHORE, Mar. 23: Jamaat e Islami Secretary General Liaquat Baloch has said that President Zardari and Prime Minister Gilani living in their cozy palaces were rubbing salt on the wounds of the masses by promising them relief in the days to come. The POL prices were being raised every month under IMF dictation which had made life of the people miserable and the citizens had already been forced to come on roads against raise in transport fares, he said in a press statement here Tuesday. He said on one hand, the Prime Minister was promising relief to the people while on the other hand, he had instructed provincial governments to seek approval from the provincial assemblies for 16 per cent value added tax on different items before March 28 next. This simply meant that the Prime Minister was befooling the masses, he added. He said that trade deficit and inflation were on the rise because of heavy foreign loans that had crippled the country’s economy. The shortfall of electricity in the Punjab had crossed 5000 MW, forcing industries to close down and ending up in massive unemployment. He counseled the government to refrain from imposing 16 per cent value added tax and instead cut down prices of POL and eatables in the public interest.

JI steps up relief efforts for Hunza lake effectees

LAHORE, March1:The Jamaat e Islami chief Syed Munawar Hasan, has said that India’s track record of talks with Pakistan during the last 65 years was full of hypocrisy, cheating and double-talk that had been further established by the Secretary-level meeting in New-Delhi last week. He was commenting on the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s statement in Saudi Arabia that “India was ready to discuss all issues including Kashmir with Pakistan in an atmosphere free from terror”. Talks with India is simply waste of time and Pakistan government should instead inculcate the spirit of Jehad in the nation because it was the Jehadic spirit that had sustaining the Kashmiris till now, he said. He said that India would spread the table but would like to discuss only trade and exchange of cultural delegations instead of discussing the core issue of Kashmir and the river water issue. He said New Delhi itself had extended invitation for the recent talks which also failed due to India’s non-serious attitude. The Indian State Minister for Foreign Affairs had earlier issued a statement showing willingness to accept Saudi Arabia as arbiter but the B.J.P. demanded an explanation in this respect and termed the statement irresponsible and insulting for India. This proved that India was not serious in talks with this country, he added. Syed Mnawar Hasan said India had committed worst betrayal on Kashmir and water issues and was occupying part of Kashmir unlawfully and by brute force. India, he said, had always trapped this country in the name of talks and the Indian Prime Minister statement from the holy land was also aimed at wooing the Saudi rulers. He said, the sincerity of Manmohan Singh’s remarks that “we should be good neighbours” could be judged from the fact that India was amassing arms and ammunition from all over the world against Pakistan, had enhanced her defense budget to an alarming level, and was also signing defense pacts with US and several other countries. India’s consulates in Afghanistan were training camps for saboteurs who were sent in Pakistan for terrorist activities. There was solid evidence of India’s involvement in bomb blasts in this country. Even at present, India was shifting her troops to Pakistan’s border, he said

JIChief has condemned an offer by the Pakistani delegation

LAHORE, Mar. 24: Jamaat e Islami Chief Syed Munawar Hasan has condemned an offer by the Pakistani delegation in the US to operate the Afghan Taliban. In a statement here Wednesday, he said the US was an invader in Afghanistan and the Afghan nation had the right under the UN charter to struggle for independence. Syed Munawar Hasan said the Pakistan delegation was required to explain to Washington that US occupation of Muslims lands and denying them their lawful rights was bound to have reaction. It was a pity, he said, that the Pakistan Foreign Minister and the Army Chief had on their own offered to operate against the Afghan Taliban instead of demanding withdrawal of NATO troops. Pakistan, he said, had already paid a heavy price for acting as a frontline state in the US terror war and such an offer would aggravate the situation further. Ironically, he said, the offer had been made at a time when in spite of Islamabad’s every effort to woo Washington, the US Secretary of State and the CIA were not prepared to trust this country. It was due to the US war, that the country’s economy had been crippled, the budget was being spent on the war instead of public welfare, and over thirty thousand people including more than 10,000 troops, had been killed in this war. The US lack of trust in this country despite all these services, was a slap in the face of the Pakistani delegation and leadership, he added.
