Rise up: Our rulers are hostage to imperial designs: Sirajul Haq
2016-09-13
[TRIBUNE.PK] Moslems must put an end to their internal differences and be united against their enemies, Senator Sirajul Haq
...current head of the Pak Jamaat-e-Islami. Siraj was born in 1962 and entered politics shortly after that...
, head of the 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 independent branch 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...
, said in an Eid greetings message on Monday.

Imperialist powers have thrust Moslems into a war to grab and control their resources, he said. "Our rulers are incompetent and all too willing to be enslaved by these imperial powers." He said these leaders were the agents of the enemy rather than leaders of the Ummah. "They are responsible for the problems the Moslem Ummah face today."

Haq said enemy forces amassing under the banner of the USA had massacred millions of Moslems in Iraq and Afghanistan. "Now they have daggers pointing at Syria and Yemen." He said Moslems in Paleostine and Kashmire had sacrificed a lot in the last seven decades but the United Nations
...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks...
and other so-called human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
champions had turned a blind eye towards their plight.

The JI chief said India had enjoyed the full support of the US, which is why it had become a serious threat to world peace. He said that the US has been interfering in South Asia with the intent to make India a regional hegemon. The US-India collusion against the CPEC in Pakistain has already risen to the surface, he said.

"Modi’s statement on Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
is irrefutable proof of New Delhi’s nefarious designs against our country." Haq said that security agencies had solid evidence of India’s involvement in terrorist activities in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.
, Quetta, and 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...
Pakistain's rulers were aware of New Delhi’s designs yet they were keen to forge a friendship with India against the nation’s sentiments, he said.

Haq said corruption and plunder by the country’s rulers had badly shaken people’s confidence in them. "They have been blocking an investigation into Panama Leaks...their bank accounts abroad are fit to burst with trillions of rupees and foreign currency...yet they burden the masses with price hikes and heavy taxes and secure huge loans from the IMF and the World Bank."

The JI chief said the situation called for a strong and sustained movement, "like the Pakistain Movement", to pull the country out of the mess it was in and to bring confidence to the masses.
