That is very convenient way for JI to get off the hook ..... He still needs to render apology to the nation. He should resign as he is not fit to lead the party.

This is unfortunate that a party like JI has no true leader left. Munawwar Hasan lost each and every General Election miserably, he was never a front runner in politics but was made JI Ameer. JI is doomed. This statement was the last nail in its coffin.

Face-saving by JI. But it's too late. Damage has already been done!

Jamiat should get resignation from Munawar Hassan right away period and apologize to the nation immediately

the had of JI shud be ashamed to what his statement abt Hakeemullah mehsud has come & ti add to it Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman (MFR) went even ahead of it therefore its time the political leaders shud do a home work on a single line copy before giving such statements.

JI is a party which has its own agenda all around the Muslim world. In Egypt they are called Brotherhood Party and in Bangladesh it is totally banned. Likewise this party Remember their founder leader was sentenced to death during General Ayub Khan's era but was (pardoned) due to the pressure from US and other stake holders. This is the only party which cultivated hatred for others and is considered Mother of all so called Jehadi groups though they operate with different brutal style. Strangely it has now penetrated in our all government institutions. Master mind of 9/11 was arrested from one of their insider leader and many known terrorists including a lady doctor convicted and jailed in US etc etc etc. It is time to file reference in Supreme Court against this party and its leadership. If our national leadership and pillars of the state are really interested to save the country then move forward and ban not only JI but also all other parties which are operating with different names and having their own sectarian agendas. Pakistan is a Muslim nuclear country so no one should be afraid of popular saying '' Islam Khatray Mein Hy ''. Our country needs Muhammad Ali Jinnah's Pakistan back on its feet.

Whenever a leader makes a stupid statement the party disowns if they notice a reverse reaction, When Munawar speaks he is speaking on behalf of the party,he should apologize forthwith.

What a piece of rubbish that JI's top leader has personal views! amazing concept. I suggest JI to proceed with "Taqwah" rather flimsy deception and lying. There is no need for official statement rather an outright apology.

History Lesson: Moulana Moudoodi was arrested by the military deployment headed by Lieutenant General Azam Khan, which also included Rahimuddin Khan, and Moulana Moudoodi was sentenced to death on the charge of writing a propaganda pamphlet about the Ahmadiyya issue. Eventually, his sentence was annulled.

Munawar of jamat e islami should be tried for treason and the party banned. This is a very serious issue and he should not be allowed to go scot free. Shame to JI party.

This is another JI statement base on double standard. JI should be ban in Pakistan like Bangladesh.

what a loose statement...when one can have his personal comments against fiqh..what else u expect?

"army had reacted to the JI chief

We must also consider Maulana Fazl -ur Rehman statement seriously

i would call Munawwar Hassan's statement another attempt to exploit a segment of societ that carries sympathy for the talibans. He has literally spanked every progressive and forward looking Pakistani by hurting his feelings and rediculing his way of thinking

Pathetic..............the JI could have come up with something more honest.

This is indeed a fit subject for the Supreme Court to take suo moto notice and charge the JI leader with treason. One would also like to hear what the government thinks of the JI leader's statement.

This is the irony of the matter that nation is still divided whose war is this? Religious scholars are the one blamed most who did not come up with unanimous decision and not being able to build up consensus.

personal views are given before family and friends circle and not before the whole world.

JI leader'ship statement insulting Pakistani Army's Shaheeds which include our heroes - Nishan-e-Haiders - is nothing but an anti-Pakistan propaganda. Pakistan Armed Forces are in no mood to digest such salovos at them from the pulpits of the so called "Islamic parties" in the name of democracy. Its time that Pakistan seperates religion and state and follows Bangladesh. MAV Sweden

He should be taken to court on defamation charges against the most critical establishment of our country. He/The party should also be banned for promoting anti-Pak propaganda. The TV channel that aired this should be banned for spreading anti-PK sentiments. OUr Media guidelines and policies needs revision and these traitors should be condemned at all levels.

if this is not an act of treason, I don't know what is.

supreme court should take a serious notice of his insult statement to thousands of 'shaheeds' who laid down their life for their country - his party should be banned - the cat is out of the bag who has been supporting these elements of their activities all this while in the name of islam

This man's statement calls in to question his & his party's loyalty. In my opinion this party's root lay against Pakistan when country got its independent & it is therefore should be banned from politics.

JI its ok, Elvis has left the building. That is the stance of your leadership. No need to back track, as you will be just digging a deeper hole for yourself. We know Mullah were, are and always will be against Pakistan. Mullahs stood against Quaid e Azam too, we are used to it.
