KARACHI, May 10: The Jamaat-i-Islami chief Qazi Hussain Ahmed has said wrong policies of the rulers are responsible for deteriorating law and order situation in the country.
The JI chief, who arrived here on Friday, was speaking at a function held in honour of parents of the martyrs who offered their lives for the cause of Islam in Kashmir and Afghanistan.
He claimed that the prevailing situation in the country was an aftermath of government’s support for the policies of western powers in the so-called war against terrorism.
He said people of Pakistan could never support the unjustified US bombings on the war-torn Afghanistan, in which thousands of Afghan Muslims were killed.
“Pakistan was created in the name of Islam which should had been the supreme law, but on the contrary all government institutions are busy spreading Western culture which have negative effects on the country,” he added.
He said religious parties would never allow President Pervez Musharraf to introduce secularism in the country in the name of modernization.
Qazi Hussain Ahmed demanded restoration of 1973 Constitution and induction of an interim government to hold general elections in the country.
Others who spoke included JI Karachi chief Dr Merajul Huda Siddiqui; Hizbul Mujahideen central vice-president Commander Sabir Hussain Awan, and Abu Hamza.—PPI
