| [NATION.PK] Jamaat-e-Islami ... The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independentbranch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... chief Sirajul Haq ...current head of the Pak Jamaat-e-Islami. Siraj was born in 1962 and entered politics shortly after that... has demanded of the politicians including Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf... having offshore accounts and assets confirmed by the Panama leaks to quit their party and public offices. "Mr Nawaz Sharif should take lead in resignation after his family’s involvement in offshore companies was proved in Panama leaks," Sirjul Haq said while addressing the religious parties’ moot at Mansoora yesterday. He held that the foreign assets of the rulers were much beyond the expectations of the people. "If these assets had been made through lawful means, there was no reason for hiding them in off-shore accounts," he added. The JI chief said that the issue of Panama leaks would not die naturally. The parties who had been in power in the past had tried to conceal one another corruption but this could not continue now, he further said. "Time has come that everybody have to account for his wealth and there won’t be any discrimination." Sirajul Haq remarked that in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... , a ’Dry Cleaning Plant’ had been installed and those coming out of it were issuing certificates of innocence to the extortionists, land mafia and hit mans. He added that the rulers had forsaken morality which was the basis of all laws, constitution and democracy. |
