Altaf Hussain should not talk about bloodshed in the streets of Karachi: Siraj ul Haq

Lahore: Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq has slated MQM chief Altaf Hussain’s threats of bloodshed in the streets of Karachi, and counseled him to talks of love and brotherhood  and play his role in restoration of peace in the port city that already had years of bloodletting.

“On one hand, Altaf Hussain claims of his patriotism while on the other hand, he is talking like the Mukti Bahini” , Sirajul Haq said while addressing the JI women conference at Mansoora on Wednesday.

He deplored that there were separate laws for the poor and the elite in the country.  Big politicians can easily leave for Dubai, US or London after committing major crimes but the poor man is held and put in Udyala jail for minor crimes”, he said.  “We want to end this dual system and introduce a system in which all are equal:. He added.

The JI chief said that secular elements were hindering the Islamic system by making propaganda. An impression was created that the Islamic system simply means chopping of hands and lashes. On the other hand, he said, the Islamic system makes people responsible citizens He said that in the Shariah, all citizens enjoyed equal rights.

He said the secular elements also made the propaganda that Islam did not give equal rights to the women.  On the other hand, the fact was that Islam was the only religion that gave equal rights to the women.  

He said that Islam made the education of the women and girls compulsory. He said that the JI after coming to power would frame a law in which denying the girls education would be a crime.

He said the JI wanted to bring about Islamic revolution through ballot and peacefully. He said that the ruling elite were the biggest hurdle in the Islamic system.
