Muslims needs unity more than the nuclear bomb: Senator Sirajul Haq

Lahore: Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq, has said that in the prevailing  situation, the Muslims needed unity more than the nuclear bomb. He was speaking as chief guest at the Ittehad e Ummah Conference organized by the Hadyatul Huda, Pakistan, Lahore chapter, at the Aiwan e Iqbal.

Railways Minister Khwaja Saad Rafique,  Syed Haroon Gilani and Maulana Amir Hamza, also addressed the moot.

Sirajul Haq said that the Muslim world stood divided today and the Muslims blood was being shed in Syria, Palestine, Afghanistan, Kashmir while Pakistan was also facing terrorism. He said the US President Obama had stated that this region would remain unstable for the next two decades, which clearly implied that the western powers had planned to keep this region disturbed and a target of terrorism for such a long period.

The JI chief said that 70 per cent of arms and ammunition of the colonial powers were purchased by the Muslim states, and these arms and ammunition were being used by the Muslim states against one another.

Commenting on the Bill passed by the Punjab Assembly to control domestic violence, the JI chief said that the new law had been rejected even by the women folk and it was an attempt to hit our family system and would affect the relations between male and female family members. He said it was the western agenda to demolish our family system and Muslims traditions and civilization.

Sirajul Haq further said that everybody talked of the rule of the constitution and the law but practically did nothing in this direction. He said that first, the Holy Quran and the Sunnah were the  constitution for the country. Next was the 1973 constitution that had been passed unanimously. Then, there was our civilization and culture that had to be preserved under all circumstances.

He said that the 1973 constitution was not being implemented in its true spirit, because if it had been implemented in totality, corruption could not become such a big problem. He said that if corruption was controlled, all our institutions could be brought in order and the problems of the masses could be resolved.

Sirajul Haq said the JI was launching a countrywide drive against corruption from March one, and hoped that people from all walks of life would support this campaign in order to achieve Corruption Free Pakistan.
