LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami Chief Engineer Hafiz Naeemur Rehman strongly reacted to the 27th Constitutional Amendment, calling it horrific and disastrous for the country. He said that the details emerging from the amendment granting lifelong immunity to the President of Pakistan and abolishing the system of accountability are alarming, and the opposition must completely reject it.
In a statement posted on social media platform X, Hafiz Naeemur Rehman said that the 27th Amendment is religiously, constitutionally, democratically, socially, and politically wrong and shameful. He added that it is equivalent to a deadly attack on the system of justice.
The Jamaat-e-Islami Emir said the nation is stunned to see what kind of flowers of democracy the PDM and the PPP are blooming. Hafiz Naeemur Rehman remarked that those who run their parties based on wills, inheritance, and feudal authority — and who buy and sell members of parliament — neither consider themselves accountable before the public nor wish to remain answerable to the courts.
Hafiz Naeemur Rehman further said that both our religion and constitution require every citizen, including the President, to abide by the law. The holy Qur’an and Sunnah instruct rulers to establish the rule of law and to strictly adhere to it themselves. However, the rulers consider themselves above the law and seek to push the country into the swamp of lawlessness. He urged the opposition to unite and foil this conspiracy, completely rejecting the amendment.
