Manmohan’s statement in Saudi Arabia total hypocrisy

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

Govt,friendly Opposition pushing Pakistan into US slavery

LAHORE,feb.28: Jamaat e Islami chief Syed Munawar Hasan has said that the government and the friendly Opposition were jointly pushing the country into US slavery. The PML(N) leader Mian Nawaz Sharif was simply issuing statements from Raiwind and did not have the courage to come on roads because of US pressure, he said while addressing a meeting at Khanewal on Sunday. Hizbul Mujahideen chief commander Syed Salahud Din, JI Punjab chief Dr Syed Waseem Akhtar also addressed the gathering. Syed Munawar Hasan remarked that the government’s performance for the US was good but its achievements for the masses were poor. In, fact, he said, the government actions were anti- people. He said that Pakistan was not a poor country but its wealth was being plundered by a handful of people and national wealth was being transferred abroad. He said during the movement for the revival of the judiciary, President Asif Zardari had said that the PPP had the mandate of providing Roti, Kapra and Makan to the masses but the PPP government had snatched all these things from the poor. The life and property of the common man was not secure as innocent citizens were being killed in drone attacks and military operations. The JI chief said that the Go America Go drive of the JI was also aimed at ousting President Zardari but the JI believed that change of the government wont help solve the issues because a fresh pro-US team would step in. The country required change of leadership and not change of government, he said. He said an independent judiciary and a free media promised a bright future for the country and the JI would provide them full support. Syed Munawar Hasan said that Pak-India talks had been a failure as expected. It would have been better if the Secretary level meeting was not held, he said. There shouldn’t be any dialogue with India except on Kashmir and river water, he said.

Baloch blames Sindh ruling alliance for Karachi carnage

LAHORE, Feb. 7: The Jamaat e Islami Secretary General Liaquat Baloch has blamed the PPP, the MQM and the ANP for the current Karachi situation and said the three ruling parties in Sindh were protecting their own mafias and terrorists instead of the masses. Talking to different delegations at Mansoora on Sunday, he said that because of the tug of war between the three parties, the anti Pakistan forces were having a free hand while the citizens were totally helpless. Strongly condemning the blood letting going on in the port city, the JI leader demanded an enquiry into the tragic events by a high level judicial commission. Liaquat Baloch told a questioner that the JI would contest the by election in NA-123 Lahore and NA-55, Rawalpindi vigorously and its candidates Hafiz Salman Butt and Dr Muhammad Kamal were most suitable candidates. He said that the people of the Punjab were fed up with the present rulers in the centre and the province and their verdict in the election would prove that. Meanwhile, while talking to Dr Aafia Siddiqui’s sister Dr Fauzia Siddiqui by telephone, Liaquat Baluch said that the US judicial system was partial and highly biased and Dr Aafia was being punished for being a Muslim and the tall claims of the US and the Western powers as champions of human and women rights were simply hollow. He agreed with Dr Fauzia s suggestion that the Pakistani rulers should stop all US and NATO supplies and exert diplomatic and political pressure for her release.

JI rallies to express solidarity with Kashmiris

LAHORE, Feb. 5: The Kashmir Solidarity Day was observed all over the country under the aegis of the Jamaat e Islami, and rallies were staged in the federal and the provincial capitals besides major cities in support of the Kashmiris struggle for freedom. The JI chief Syed Munawar Hasan led a big rally in Islamabad. Addressing the participants, he termed the Kashmir issue as the incomplete agenda of the partition of the Indo Pakistan sub continent. He was confident that the slogan of “ Kashmir Bane Ga Pakistan” would turn into a reality soon. He called upon the world community and the United Nations to fulfill their commitment with the Kashmiris and organize plebiscite in Jammu and Kashmir enabling the people to decide their future. He said India was perpetrating atrocities on the helpless Kashmiri men, women and children and was involved in state terrorism. Unfortunately, the Pakistan government and the armed forces had closed their eyes to the Kashmir situation. Indians troops were on the rampage while Pakistan had unilaterally withdrawn its forces from the eastern border. Describing talks with India as an exercise in futility, Syed Munawar Hasan exhorted the Zardari, Gilani, Kyani troika to stand face to face with India instead of their own people and turn their guns towards Kashmir. The JI chief said that the state of Pakistan stood as a culprit in Dr Aafia case as Gen. Pervez Musharraf sold away the lady for a few dollars. He demanded repatriation of the general and his open trial. He also announced a countrywide protest on Feb.7 against Dr Aafia’s conviction and urged the people to join the protest for the protection of their daughters. Syed Munawar Hasan declared that the era of the US was over as it was facing a humiliating defeat in Afghanistan. He said that the real threat to Pakistan came from Americanisation and Altafization, and not Talibanisation. The Azad Kashmir JI chief Abdur Rashid Turabi, Hurriat leader Ghulam Muhamamd Safi and other JI leaders also addressed the rally. Earlier, the participants of the rally formed a human chain with their hands to express their solidarity with the Kashmiris fighting for liberation from Indian hold. Hundreds of women and children also participated in the rally in the midst of light showers. In the Punjab capital, a rally was organised from Nasir Bagh to the Assembly chambers. Large number of women and children also joined. JI secretary general Liaquat Baloch and district chief Amirul Azeem led the rally. Addressing the participants, Liaquat Baloch said that the world bodies and the western powers were not sincere with the Muslims. In spite of the UN resolutions, a plebiscite had not been arranged in Kashmir for the last 62 years. The Pakistani rulers had thrown the country into the US so called war on terror while India was hatching conspiracies to declare Pakistan a failed state to pave way for take over of its nuclear installations. At the same time, it was trying to convert this country into a desert by stopping its water share. The JI Punjab chief Dr Waseem Akhtar led the rally at Multan. In Karachi, a big rally was staged from Chaurangi up to the Mazar e Quaid. JI deputy chief Prof. Ghafoor Ahmed addressed the participants. In Quetta, a rally was organized from the Fatimah Jinnah road to Press Club. Similar rallies were staged in Peshawar and Faisalabad.

The ruling parties were putting the blame on each other while the people had been left completely helpless. The government had failed to maintain law and order.
