F.P. Report

LAHORE: Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq has said that although elections were held in the country and the people cast their vote with new hopes and expectations but the situation in the country became worse instead of showing any improvement.

He was speaking at a photographic exhibition depicting the services of former Ameer JI Qazi Husain Ahmed, for the country and the Muslim unity, organized by the JI Youth at Alhamra Cultural Complex, Gaddafi Stadium Lahore. Sirajul Haq said that throughout his life, Qazi Husain Ahmed had fought against the political system based on injustice and exploitation. He said the JI workers and leaders were following in the footprints of Qazi Husain Ahmed in a bid to unite the masses against the feudal lords and vaderas who were the symbols of oppression and tyranny.

He said that the oppressive and corrupt ruling mafia had taken all political parties as hostages and were protecting their selfish interests by changing their parties.

Punjab Minister for Information, Fayyazul Hasan Chauhan, JI chief for Central Punjab Amirul Azeem, Aasif Luqman Qazi, JI Youth chief Zubair Gondal highlighted different aspects of the life and the struggle of Qazi Husain, on

the occasion.           

Sirajul Haq said the JI wanted to end the hold of the corrupt elite and to establish the system given by the Quran and the Sunnah that would save all citizens from the slavery of others and end exploitation. 

He said that Pakistan and the Muslim world needed an ideological leadership, a leadership which always looked towards Allah Almighty for help and guidance and not towards the IMF.

He said that it should be a leadership in whose words and deeds there was full harmony and which truly acted as the spokesman of the Ummah. Late Qazi Husain Ahmed had been such leader, he added.
