Ameer Pakistan Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Munawar Hasana said capitalism is dying at the hands of its own protagonists and Islam is fast emerging as a super power in the world.
Addressing the “Ummeed Bano” (become hope of the nation) Million March of the Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba in the city Monday evening, he said that millions of people in the west were on roads to demand switch over to the Islamic financial system after the failure of the western economy.
Hasan said the western civilization had failed to satisfy its believers and there was unrest and dissatisfaction all around and the people were turning to Islam in search for peace. The leader of the western civilization had failed in its designs even after shedding the blood of millions of Muslims in Iran and Afghanistan.
He said that Islam had been the super power fourteen hundred years ago and it could guarantee peace, justice and harmony to mankind even today. The JI chief said the interests of the US and Pakistan clashed with each other and the two could not be friends. He said that the Zardari, Gilani, Kayani troika was shedding the blood of patriots and added that all those who talked of the country’s sovereignty and solidarity were being dubbed as anti- state only to please Washington.
The US was fighting the war of India’s supremacy in the region but this was not acceptable to the people. Hasan said the Pakistani rulers would have to change their outlook otherwise the nation, especially the youth of the IJT would not tolerate them any longer. He said the PM’s record was not good and it would be better if he changed his attitude and took prompt steps for the implementation of the APC decision and the parliament’s resolutions.
Addressing the Million March, JI Secretary General Liaqat Baloch said the people all over the world had risen against dictatorial regimes and nobody could stop a revolution in this country.
The IJT chief, Abdur Rashid, said the Pakistani rulers were agents of foreign powers and had deprived the masses of the last morsel of food and books. The wards of the rulers were studying in the universities of London and New York while the Pakistani youth were deprived of basic facilities. He demanded Urdu as medium of instruction, a uniform education system and syllabus for the entire country and restoration of students unions as promised by the PM.
