Senator Siraj ul Haq presents a memorandum for the UN Secretary General

اسلام آباد سینیٹر سراج الحق اقوامِ متحدہ آفس کے باہر میڈیا سے گفتگو کررہے ہیںLahore: A Jamaat e Islami delegation headed by Ameer, JIP, Senator Sirajul Haq, visited the United Nation’s office in Islamabad on Friday and presented a memorandum for the UN Secretary General, against the inhuman treatment being meted out to the Ruhangiya Muslims for the last several years.

The delegation included JI deputy chief Mian Muhammad Aslam, JI Foreign wing chief Abdul Ghaffar Aziz besides JI chief for Rawalpindi and Islamabad Zubair Farooq Khan and Shamsur Rahman Swati.

The UN office assured the JI delegation that the memorandum and the covering letter would reach the UN Secretary General within an hour.

Later, while talking to the media at the spot, Sirajul Haq said that the JI had submitted, on behalf of the Pakistani nation, a memorandum to draw the attention of the UN towards the genocide of the Ruhangiya Muslims going on for years. He said it had been stated in the memorandum that the population of Ruhangiya Muslims in Burma had come down from five million to only one million within a few years and it was most shameful that neither the UN nor the Muslim rulers had taken any notice of the issue. Untold brutalities were being perpetrated on these Muslins with the backing of the Burmese government. He said it was an irony that the UN which even talked of animal rights, had kept a criminal silence on the genocide of the Myanmar Muslims.

He said that thousands of Ruhangiya Muslims were sailing in the sea but no country was willing to provide them shelter. He said he feared that divine wrath may befall on the world on account of this brutal behavior of the humans watching the misery of their fellow beings.

The JI chief slated the attitude of the OIC on this issue and said if the OIC could not protect the Muslim minorities in different countries, it should better be wound up. He deplored that the over fifty Muslim states were witnessing the bloodletting of the Myanmar Muslims like deaf and dumb.

Sirajul Haq also appealed to the UN, the OIC and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to take effective steps for the protection of the Ruhangiya Muslims. He said the JI had decided to raise the issue at every forum and it would also stage a big rally in the federal capital on June 14.

He also condemned the trials of Bangladesh JI leaders and the death sentences announced to several JI leaders. He deplored that the Pakistan government was completely silent on these trials.

The JI chief also slated the trials of the ex-Egyptian President Dr Muhammad Mursi and his colleagues by so called courts in the country.
