| [Pak Daily Times] 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... (JI) Ameer Sirajul Haq ...current head of the Pak Jamaat-e-Islami. Siraj was born in 1962 and entered politics shortly after that... has said that there was consensus on many things between the government and the protesters but the committee engaged in 'mediation' wants to give more time to both to resolve the political crisis as there were some problems as well. "We don't want the protesters to go empty handed", he said. Addressing a presser along with Pakistain People's Party's (PPP) Senator Rehman Malik Pak politician, Interior Minister under the Gilani government. Malik is a former Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) intelligence officer who rose to head the FIA during Benazir Bhutto's second tenure. Malik was tossed from his FIA job in 1998 after documenting the breath-taking corruption of the Sharif family. By unhappy coincidence Nawaz Sharif became PM at just that moment and Malik moved to London one step ahead of the button men. He had to give up the interior ministry job because he held dual Brit citizenship. here on Thursday after the meeting of Opposition Committee at the latter's house, Sirajul Haq said that the committee wanted to give a respectable exit to government and protesters both. "Jirga cannot mediate like a court, it has been decided during the meeting at Rehman Malik's residence to give both sides some more time", he told. Sirajul Haq said that a document had been prepared by the 'Jirga' and would share it with all three parties to this conflict i.e. government, Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf ...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... (PTI) and Pakistain Awami Tehrik (PAT). He said that the recommendations could not be made public at the moment and the committee wanted to give some more time to the protesters and government to decide about the recommendations. Speaking on this occasion to the journalists, Senator Rehman Malik said that all the recommendations made by the committee were in line with the constitution and the aspirations of the parliamentarians. Rehman said that there was a way forward for all three sides in this document. |
