Religious leadership to expedite struggle for Nizam e Mustafa

Lahore: Leading Ulema and the steering Committee of all religious parties at a meeting held at Mansoora on Monday resolved to expedite the struggle for the enforcement of the Nizam e Mustafa in the country with a view to protecting its Islamic ideology.

The meeting decided to make collective efforts for safeguarding the country’s constitution and its supremacy and to reject all obstacles in the implementation of its Islamic provisions. It also decided to hold a grand Nizam e Mustafa Conference at Liaqat Bagh, Rawalpindi, on May one.
Presided over by JI Secretary General Liaqat Baloch, the meeting was attended among others, by Hafiz Abdur Rahman Makki, Maulana Abdur Rauf Farooqi, Syed Ziaullah Shah, Hafiz Abdul Ghaffar Ropari, Dr Muhammad Amin and Dr Abdul Ghafoor Rashid.

Briefing newsmen after the meeting, Liaqat Baloch said that the conspiracies of secular and liberal lobby against the Islamic provisions of the constitution were quite well-known, and it was the responsibility of the religious leadership to protect these articles and ensure their implementation.
He said it was unfortunate that instead of defending the Islamic provisions, the rulers were talking of a liberal and secular Pakistan under the US and western pressure and were ready to enact more laws similar to the Women Protection Law adopted by the Punjab Assembly that would promote debauchery and immorality. However, he said the religious par forces would not allow the rulers designs to succeed.
The meeting condemned the arrests of the Ulema and raids at madrissahs.

The meeting also condemned the propaganda against the Jamaat al Dawa for having a parallel judicial system and said this was being done under US and Indian pressure.

Liaqat Baloch said it was fortunate that the Panama Leaks had not named any religious leader or madrissah and added that only the upholders of secularism and liberalism were involved in the plunder of national wealth.

The meeting also disapproved the media attitude towards the religious leadership and appealed to the media to support the forces striving for the rule of law and the supremacy of the constitution and not vice versa.
