Qazi starts fifth term as JI ameer
2004-04-21
Qazi Hussain Ahmad was sworn in as the Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Pakistan for fifth term at Mansoora on Tuesday. A special oath taking ceremony was held in front of important personalities from the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) and other political parties. Qazi Hussain Ahmad, in his address, criticised the Aga Khan Foundation and warned it to stop interfering in the education system otherwise a movement would be started to declare them non-Muslims. “They should avoid becoming American tools and learn a lesson from the Qadyanis,” he said.
The Ismailis, of course, don't knuckle under to Qazi, and they have their own money...
Mr Hussain accused President Musharraf of offering India a joint syllabus for the two countries. “It is not only a conspiracy against the ideology of Pakistan, but also against its existence,” he said. On the president’s uniform, he said that after December 31, 2004, Gen Musharraf would not be the chief of army staff (COAS) even for one day. Condemning Hamas leader Abdelaziz Rantissi’s assassination, he declared Friday (April 23) as the Aqsa Day to pay tribute to him and condemn America and Israel. “Iraq, Afghanistan, Philistine and Kashmir are the victims of American, Israeli and Indian terrorism, but the world’s greatest terrorists are trying to fix this label on Muslims,” he said.
Qazi's so predictable...
