— JI Ameer Sirajul Haq condemns cruelty against Muslims in Burma, asks why OIC, UN remain silent
Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Ameer Senator Sirajul Haq has strongly condemned the violence against the Muslims in Myanmar and their forced eviction by the Burmese army.
He has called upon the UN Secretary General and the OIC and also the Turkish president to take immediate measures to stop these. Addressing the three leaders in separate letters, he said that the brutalities being committed against the Myanmar Muslims had reminded him of the genocide of innocent people during the World War II.
He said that according to the reports, three thousand Muslims had been murdered, while around 90 thousand had been forced to flee towards Bangladesh. “Many of them were in the sea and others were lying in the open.”
In his letter to the UN secretary general, Siraj said that the UN should protect the rights of all people and should immediately take suitable measures against the Myanmar government so that it stopped the killing of innocent Muslims. In his letter to the OIC secretary general, the JI ameer urged the secretary general to immediately call a meeting of the OIC to announce prompt measures to prevent the killing of thousands of people.
In his letter to the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Siraj urged the Turkish leader to move towards uniting the Muslim world in the present situation as the Muslim nation was suffering because of them being disarray.
Meanwhile, the JI will hold a march from Aabpara Chowk, Islamabad, to the Myanmar embassy in the federal capital on September 8, Friday, to protest against the genocide of Muslims in Myanmar.
The JI Ameer has called upon the Pakistan government to immediately expel the Burmese envoy in the country. He further suggested the government to prevail upon all Islamic and friendly countries to expel the Burmese ambassador in their countries and also demand the Myanmar government to stop the massacre and the forced eviction of the Rohingya Muslims. He wondered why the OIC, the UN and world community were silent over the genocide of the Rohingyas.
