Every effort to undermine the madrissahs would be strongly resisted: Siraj ul Haq

Lahore: Ameer Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Sirajul Haq, declared that every effort to undermine the mosques and the madrissahs would be strongly resisted while all those talking of demolishing and setting on fire the mosques would meet the fate of Abraha.

“Pakistan is like mother to us and the centre of our love, and living and dying fort the country is the part of our faith. These are no hollow slogans as we have offered lives for this country,” he added.

Addressing the national conference in memory of late Qazi Hussain Ahmad,Sirajul Haq said that anyone who took up arms in the name of religion was a criminal like the one who took up arms for any regional, ethnic or communal cause. He noted that the first decree against terrorism was given by the imam of the Holy Ka’ba.

He urged the government to try to create national harmony by striving to restore peace in the light of the decisions of the three APCs, instead of harassing the three million Madrissah students. The government should not shake the national unity created against terrorism, he added.

The JI chief said that the rulers could please the US by declaring a war against the Islam lovers and by executing them but in that case, they would not be earning the pleasure of Allah and His Prophet. He said that the religion should not be blamed for terrorism because religion only preached love, tolerance and harmony. He said that the government had not accepted the amendment presented by the JI although that was in the interest of all.

Sirajul Haq said that Qazi Husain Ahmad had struggle against injustice till his last breath. Qazi  Sahib was a practical man and people all over the world had great love and respect for him.
