Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Siraj-ul-Haq, has said that the enemies of Islam and Pakistan were creating hurdles in the way of democracy and supporting dictatorship in the Muslim states in order to stop the process of development there.
According to JI media cell, he was addressing the Rahimyar Khan District Bar on Monday. He said in Pakistan, the democratic process was disrupted many a time and the army generals were given full support to advance the agenda of the enemy. He said the west could not see democracy flourish in the Muslim states. The western colonial powers had topped democratic governments in Egypt and Algeria and had not accepted the elected government in Palestine, he added.
The JI chief said that leaders of Islamic movements from 35 states attending the JI Ijtema in the city in November last had announced their resolve to launch democratic struggle for the enforcement of the Islamic system, however, this message of peace was not allowed to reach the masses. He said that lawlessness prevailed in the country as little attention was given to the rule of law during the last 68 years. There were separate laws for the rich and the poor as the rich people remained free from the clutches of the law despite involvement in mega corruption.
Siraj-ul-Haq said that Pakistan was the throbbing heart of the Muslim world and the enforcement of the Islamic system here was imperative for the resurgence of Islam. He said that our own character, and not the west or Europe was the hurdle in the enforcement of Islamic system. He said the interest based economy, the colonial political system and the Hindu culture had done irreparable damage to our identity.
He however said that the capitalist system and the western democracy had failed to solve the people's problems and the enforcement of the Shariah was essential to steer the country and the nation out of the present crisis. The JI chief said that the political parties in the country had turned into personal properties as the leadership was passed on from the father to the son, and in the absence of a son, to the daughter while the common party worker was there simply to raise slogans and carry party banners. In view of this, he said, he had filed a petition before the Election Commission for adopting effective measures to ensure regular elections within the parties.
