PESHAWAR, March 26: President of Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) and Amir Jamaat-i-Islami Pakistan Qazi Hussain Ahmad has said that all political and religious parties have agreed on a four-point agenda which envisages resignation of General Pervez Musharraf, formation of a caretaker government, restoration of pre-1999 constitution and formation of an independent election commission.

Addressing the concluding session of a three-day congregation of the Jamaat-i-Islami at Wapda colony on Sunday, he said that the final round of their struggle against ‘American agents and secular rulers’ would be held in Islamabad where they would gather the whole nation for ‘ousting the rulers’. He urged the World Tablighee Tehrik to join them in their movement against anti-Islamic forces, as the rulers had failed to protect honour of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).

Qazi Hussain said that Islamic revolution was their destiny and they would never allow American agents to convert Pakistan into a secular state. He said his party aimed at establishing a system based on justice..

Qazi Hussain said that army’s job was to defend the frontiers of the country and it had no role in politics and governance.

He said social, political and economic crisis coupled with unprecedented price-hike had engulfed the country and uncertainty and lawlessness was prevailing everywhere in the country. The government, he said, was killing innocent people in Waziristan and Bajaur tribal areas on the behest of America.

Qazi Hussain said opposition parties were against the military operation in Waziristan, adding that army operations in Waziristan and Balochistan were posing serious threat to the integrity and stability of the country.

He said that his party would not accept a compromise on Kashmir and would continue its support for Kashmiri muja-hideen in their struggle for right to self-determination.

Jamaat-i-Islami’s chief urged people to support the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal in its struggle to establish a true Islamic democratic state in the country.

Present rulers, he said, had been bypassing the parliament on important decisions concerning foreign policy, law and order and sovereignty of the state.
