Siraj ul Haq strongly condemned the suggestion of recognition of Israel

Lahore : Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq, has strongly condemned the suggestion from a PTI MNA parliament for linking the Qibla e Awal with the Zionists and proposing the recognition of Israel.

Speaking at the JI Ijtema at Gujrat, he called upon the government to immediately clarify its stance on the sensitive issue. He termed the idea a negation of the Muslim world’s 1400 years old stance on Baitul Maqdis, and said the suggestion had hurt the sentiments of the entire Muslim Ummah.

Sirajul Haq said the PTI woman member Asma Hadeed, was either totally ignorant of the Islamic teachings or the government was deliberately advancing the foreign agenda in this regard.

He said that Israel had been occupying the Qibla e Awwal by force and the Palestinians were fighting for its liberation. Lakhs of Palestinians had laid down their lives for this cause. He said that such a move from a ruling part y member was extremely shocking. He said the government should immediately disown the suggestion.

Sirajul Haq said that the Qadyanis’ protection in different institutions on one hand and the proposal for Israel’s recognition on the other hand, was not a mere coincidence and seemed to be the “Deal of the Century”, at international level and aimed at recognition of the illegal Zionist state by eviction of the Palestinians from their lands., and further division in the Muslim world.

He said that the Pakistani nation stood by the Palestinians as the Pakistanis firmly believed that the Qibla e AwwaL would be free one day. He counseled the government to give up the idea of recognition of Israel and instead give full attention to the fulfillment of its election promises.

Meanwhile , the newly elected President of the Supreme Court Bar Association, Amanullah Kanrani, called on the JIP chief at the residence of  JI deputy chief Mian Muhammad Aslam, on the invitation of the JI chief.   JI deputy chief Asadullah Bhutto advocate, Shabbir Ahmed Khan and Saifullah Gondal advocate, were also present on the occasion.

Sirajul Haq expressed the hope that the newly elected office bearers of the apex court bar would play heir role in the establishing the supremacy of the constitution and the law besides ensuring the continuation of the  accountability process.   He deplored that the steps being taken for the accountability of 436 persons named in the Panama leaks so far were not showing any results.

Speaking on the occasion, the SCBA President Amanullah Kanrani, said that the struggle of the lawyers for the establishment of Pakistan and for democracy was a golden chapter of the country’s history and they would continue their efforts in this direction.
