Inquiry Commission should be formed to investigate the claims of Mustafa Kamal: Liaqat Baloch

Lahore: Secretary General, Jamaat e Islami, Liaqat Baloch, has called upon the Punjab government to immediately withdraw the Women Protection Law for being repugnant to Islam and in conflict with the constitution.

Addressing a press conference at the Lahore Press Club on Friday, he said the law had been passed to please foreign masters and was an attempt to shatter the family system in the country. The new law had put the husband, the wife and the children on a dangerous track as would only end up in the destruction of the society.

He counseled the Punjab government not to make the issue a point of prestige and review it especially after being rejected by the Islamic Ideological Council.

Referring to the JI campaign for a Corruption Free Pakistan, Liaqat Baloch said that around 150 cases of mega corruption were not being decided. He said that actually, the entire political and electoral system of the country was controlled by the corrupt people who were not ready to abandon their hold. Due to massive corruption, the constitutional and basic human rights of the people were being violated. He said that without controlling corruption, the problems of lawlessness, poverty, ignorance, price spiral and terrorism could not be resolved.

Liaqat Baloch said that the JI drive against corruption was a move to create an awakening among the masses, and added that as long as the masses were not organized and united against the evil, the prevailing system of oppression, injustice and exploitation would continue and the people would not get their due rights.

He said that by the middle of the current month, the Corruption Free Movement drive would turn into a national movement. He said that a national seminar in this regard was being held at Islamabad on March 6 at which the JI chief Senator Sirajul Haq would announce the future line of action.

Liaqat Baloch said that by executing Ghazi Mumtaz Qadri, the rulers had tried to please a small secular and anti Islam lobby in the country. However, he said this had further deepened the social divide in the country. The government had put the country on a track that could only strengthen confrontation.  He said the designs of the secular lobby were quite clear. However, he said that Mumtaz Qadri’s execution had brought the religious forces on one platform. He said the religious parties already stood united for the enforcement of the Islamic order , wiping out the interest based economy and against the ban on the Tableeghi Jamaat, he added.

He said that an international conference would be held at the Minar e Pakistan on the Chehlum of Ghazi Mumtaz Qadri while a Tahafuz e Namoos e Risalat march would be held in Karachi on March 13,

About MQM leader Mustafa kamal’s press conference, Liaqat Baloch said that a high level enquiry commission should be set up to investigate all the allegations leveled by the Mustafa Kamal. However, he said, that the governments and the Establishment had never been in the dark about the activities of the MQM although no action had ever been taken against the group.
