Latest Press Release: Reasons Behind Pakistan's Current Situation Dated: 22 March 2013

‘The appalling situation facing today’s Pakistan is the direct consequence of our betrayal and treachery towards the Deen of Allah.’ This was stated by Ameer of Tanzeem-e-Islami, Hafiz Akif Saeed, at Qur’an Academy Lahore during the Friday Sermon. While welcoming the announcement made by Jamaat e Islami to observe a Day of Repentance and Supplication, he added that without doubt the solution to our predicaments rested in beseeching Allah’s forgiveness on individual as well as collective levels. He, however, noted that it would be a mistake to think that merely observing one day to mark repentance would be sufficient to please Allah and solve our problems. ‘Instead we need to revert to practicing Islam in our individual and collective lives, and rejuvenate the ideology of Pakistan in the affairs of our statecraft.’ he told. He also stated that we needed to transform our words into action by making sincere efforts to establish the Islamic system of social justice in our country.

The Ameer remarked that it appeared unlikely that any major structural change in the governance system of Pakistan would occur when the new government took office after polls. He criticized the PML-N leadership for issuing reckless statements expressing reservations on the landmark deals made by Pakistan with China and Iran. He added that such statements were being issued for no reason other than to appease the US and its allies. Commenting on media reports about the official protocol offered to Nawaz Sharif in London during his recent visit, the Ameer said that it seemed PML-N had reached some sort of pre-election understanding with the International Establishment. He questioned the motives behind PML-N’s removal of its long standing demand for Pakistan’s withdrawal from the so-called war on terror from its latest manifesto. He also said that once and for all the terms ‘extremism’ and ‘extremists’ must be clearly defined and condemned in the strongest possible words.
