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.
