DADU, Oct 21: The chief of Jamiat Ulema-i-Pakistan (JUP) and chairman World Islamic Mission, Allama Shah Ahmed Noorani has said that people of Afghanistan were in dire need of help from their Muslim brethren and that they should be provided full support.
He was addressing a huge gathering at Ya Rasoolullah conference here on Sunday.
Mashaikh, ulema and people from across Sindh came in hundreds of vehicles to the city of Sufi saint Lal Shahbaz Qalandar to attend the conference which began on Saturday evening and continued till Sunday morning.
At the conclusion of the conference JUP chief led the prayer for Muslims of the world.
The JUP chief lashed out at USA for indiscriminate bombing on Afghanistan and killing innocent Afghans including children.
“ Muslims of the world can not remain silent at this hour of trial because they feel the pain if their brothers are massacred in Palestine, Kashmir, Afghanistan, Bosnia and Chechnya,” he declared.
Allama whose 45-minute speech was laced with quotations from Holy Quran recalled that it was Afghanistan which had produced Mehmood Ghaznavi and Shahbuddin Ghauri who established first Islamic Emirate in the sub-continent 900 years back.
The secretary general of the JUP, Shah Fareed-ul-Haque said that his party was struggling for the enforcement of Niazm-i-Mustafa.
RESOLUTIONS: The conference adopted nine resolutions and condemned display of arms.
It reprimanded those forces which were supporting sectarianism in the country and declared them to be enemies of Muslims who wanted to malign the name of Islam.
The conference vowed to foil such conspiracies and demanded of the government to take stern action against the supporters of sectarianism.
The conference called upon the government not to pay lip service and adopt practical measures against sectarian terrorists and also take to task those agencies which failed to check the activities of the terrorists.
The conference took serious note of activities of those officials of Auqaf Department who backed the drug peddlers in and around the shrines of saints.
It demanded the appointment of a judicial commission to conduct inquiry into financial malpractice of Auqaf Department officials.
It also demanded removal of corrupt officials of the department and establishment of religious seminaries in the premises of shrines in Sindh.
Expressing grave concern over the growing lawlessness in the province, the conference urged the government to take strict measures to crush the criminals and those who harbour them, lest the people rose to protect themselves on their own.
