Siraj ul Haq see the rulers behind the bar in Panama Scam

Lahore : Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator Siraj ul Haq, has said that the Panama scandal would not prove an aerial firing and he was seeing the rulers in jail.

Talking to the media outside the Supreme Court on Monday, he further said that accountability would strengthen democracy instead of weakening it, and there would be transparency in the affairs of the state. “This is the age of democracy and the parliament and the courts are independent. The time has  gone when the people would attack the courts with stones and lathis”, he added.

He said that it had been proved that the government had been using state resources and power and was exerting pressure on the courts and the institutions in order to get the decision of its liking, but had failed.  He said there was talk of tampering and remarked that in fact, the whole system was  tampered. He further said the government was using advertisements as a political bribe and said this should be stopped.

He said that all citizens were equal in the eye of law and if a few hundred people had to be sent to jail to secure the future of two hundred million people, it won’t make a difference. He said that if the court decided against the rulers, heavens won’t fall.

Siraj ul Haq said that the decisions were not taken on roads and streets. Decisions were made in the courts. He said the entire nation had confidence in the courts and the people who were hurling threats which was a sign of defeat. Those who were talking in high tone seemed to have lost arguments.

He further said this  was only the beginning and not the end as the accountability had only begun. He wished that the court decided the case at the earliest and there was not much delay.

He further said that there were hundreds of other people in the Panama scandal and after the decision of the present case, the cases of others should also be taken up.

JI rejected the US State Department notification

declaring Kashmiri freedom fighter Syed Salahud Din as a terrorist for being in conflict with the UN Human Rights Charter and the UN Security Council resolutions which accepted Kashmir a disputed territory.

A resolution adopted by the JI central body said that the Kashmiris movement for liberation and right of self determination was a liberation movement in the light of international law and UN Human Rights Charter and equating it with terrorism was negation of basis human rights.

“If Syed Salahud Din is a terrorist, then George Washington, Nelson Mandela and Subash Chandar Bose, the heroes of the Americans, the South African and the Indian people respectively, for having fought for their liberation, would also be treated a terrorists”, the resolution said.

The Shoora urged the US to withdraw the said notification and instead take notice of India’s state terrorism in Held Kashmir thereby playing its role in averting threats to the world peace.

The Shoora condemned the US-India connivance and reminded US President Donald Trump that the hands of Indian Prime Minister Modi were drenched in the blood of the Muslims of Indian Gujrat for which the US herself had termed Modi a terrorist and cancelled his visa. It said that Modi had become a threat for not only for South Asia but the world at large for advancing the agenda of Hindu extremist group RSS. It warned that patronizing Modi would be tantamount to supporting fascist Hitler.

The Shoora paid rich homage to Muzaffar Wani Shaheed whose blood had given a new life to the liberation movement as every Kashmir child had now become Muzaffar Wani. The Shoora noted that the brutalities of the Indian forces in Held Kashmir had intensified after Muzaffar Wani’s martyrdom. It noted that the Kashmiris were breaking curfew restrictions to express their determination to secure freedom which should a writing on the wall for the Indians.
