Thousands of people join the protest rallies to condemn the death sentence to Mutiur Rahman Nizami

Lahore: Thousands of people all over the country joined the protest rallies organized by the Jamaat e Islami, to condemn the death sentence announced by a Bangladesh war crimes tribunal to the  JI Bangladesh chief Mutiur Rahman Nizami. The call for protest had been given by the JI, Pakistan chief Sirajul Haq.

Protest rallies and processions were taken out in the federal and the provincial capitals besides different cities and towns.  Ulema and Khatibs in their Friday addresses also slated the oppression of the BD government against the JI leaders and workers.

Addressing a large rally at Multan Road near Mansoora, senior JI leaders said it was the legal and moral duty of the Pakistan government to present before the world community the tripartite agreement signed by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and  Z.A. Bhutto and Indian Premier Indira Gandhi, after the 1971 war, also endorsed by the US, Britain and some other states, stating that India and Pakistan  would release all prisoners of war and that nobody would be punished for war crimes.

JI deputy chief , Hafiz Muhammad Idrees, in his address, said that the Dhakka government was violating the pact in punishing the JI leaders.  He said the JI leaders had offered sacrifices for foiling the Indian plans to breakup Pakistan as was their moral and lawful duty. Therefore, the BD government allegation that the JI leaders had violated the BD constitution, was false and baseless.

Hafiz Muhammad Idrees said that Prof. Ghulam Azam, Maulana Mutiur Rahman Nizami and Abdul Qadir Mullah had sided with the Pakistan army, and now it was the duty of the rulers in Islamabad to raise their voice against the wrong being perpetrated on these patriotic Pakistanis. He deplored that the world conscience and the so called human rights bodies had shut her eyes to the state terrorism going on in Bangladesh.

JI Secretary general, Liaqat Baloch, led a large rally at Vehari, near Multan. He said that the JI leaders in Bangladesh were being victimized for their love for Islam and Pakistan and for their refusal to accept India’s supremacy. He said the BD government did not have unilateral right to undo the historic agreement, and it must quash the death sentence of Mutiur Rahman Nizami and release all the jailed JI workers.

JI deputy chief  Asadullah Bhutto, JI Deputy Secretary General, Dr Farid Ahmed Piracha and Maulana Abdul Ma’lik also spoke on the occasion.
