MUZAFFARABAD: Calling upon the leadership of Muslim countries to show bravery, Jamaat-i-Islami emir Sirajul Haque on Saturday vowed that his party would rally the entire Ummah behind the cause of liberating the oppressed Kashmiris and Palestinians from India and Israel, respectively.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Ummah is facing this situation due to its spineless rulers. From the soil of Muzaffarabad, I call upon the rulers of Pakistan as well as all other Muslim states to take practical steps [for freedom of Kashmir and Palestine] rather than banking on ritual resolutions of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation,\u201d he said in his address to a big gathering organised by JI\u2019s Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) chapter, under the title of \u201cSolidarity with Palestine and Kashmir March.\u201d<\/p>\n
Participants of the event held in Upper Adda also included a sizable number of young boy and girl students. Many of them were also carrying flags of AJK, Palestine and JI.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the Arab League can spend 30 billion dollars on the environment, why can\u2019t they do anything for the Palestinians,\u201d Mr Haq questioned. He maintained that engaging people in jihad (holy war) against the evil nexus of India and Israel was the collective responsibility of the Ummah.<\/p>\n
\u201cJihad is the sole path to secure freedom for the Kashmiris and the Palestinians. The martyrdom will eventually lead to liberation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said the gathering of the Kashmiris in Muzaffarabad was giving a message to the mothers and sisters of Gaza and occupied Jammu and Kashmir that \u201cwe feel your pain and will not leave you alone\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe rulers should either themselves organise advancement towards Israel occupied territory like that of Sultan Salahaddin Ayyubi or let the Muslim youths do it on their own,\u201d he said. He said he had made a commitment to the Hamas leadership that \u201cwe will join them for the liberation of al-Aqsa\u201d.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the occupied Kashmir situation, the JI emir said India had dumped almost the entire pro-freedom Kashmiri leadership, as well as women, young men and children in notorious prisons and interrogation camps who were waiting for practical [military] support from Pakistan.<\/p>\n
\u201cInstead of conquering Muzaffarabad, people at the helm in Islamabad should conquer Srinagar where people are eagerly awaiting them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said the solution to the issues being faced by the Muslims was installation of a leadership that only feared the Almighty and not the US. \u201cRemember, if Gaza is not saved, no one will pardon the Mir Jafars and Mir Sadiqs,\u201d he said. He said that Pakistani rulers had neither been able to address the economy and enforce merit nor bring back Aafia Siddiqui.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat else do they do?\u201d he questioned, and then answered himself: \u201cWhen in power they only raise their fortunes and when they are not in power they move to the US and UK.\u201d He said it would have been better if the AJK prime minister had also attended this solidarity march.<\/p>\n
