MMA to continue raising voice against US aggression Lahore, Dec 13: The MMA president and Jamaat-e-Islami ameer Qazi Hussain Ahmad has said that at present the strongest voice opposing the US aggression against Islam is that of MMA, and the alliance will continue discharging this duty forever by being united. He was talking to newsmen after the meeting of JI central working council at Mansoorah on Wednesday. He said there are no big differences among MMA on resigning from assemblies, and whatever petty differences are there will be sorted out in the next supreme council meeting. He said we will keep MMA united and invite PML-N and Tehrik Insaf to join the movement against the dictatorship of Gen Pervez Musharraf. Qazi Hussain Ahmad said the JI members will continue to boycott assembly proceedings and select committees, adding that he himself has not been drawing salary or taking any privilege from the assembly. He said no MMA party has any objection to JI members' boycott of assembly and committees, and this boycott is voluntary since we have not pressurized them in this regard. To a question, Qazi said if PPP violated Charter of Democracy by accepting Gen Musharraf dictatorship then its politics will come to an end. He said resignation issue will be solved by MMA supreme council in the next meeting. Meanwhile, central working council of the party in its resolutions harshly condemned and rejected Gen Musharraf deviation from Pakistan's principled stance on Kashmir by presenting strange new formulas and the latest statement by foreign office, terming it defeat attitude. It said surrendering the 60 year stance by an individual deprived of public mandate just to please Washington and support the plan of Greater India is a serious injustice to both Kashmiris and Pakistanis. The meeting announced categorically that Kashmir is the lifeline of Pakistan and assured Kashmiri freedom fighters and people full support in their freedom struggle against the Indian occupation which was rejected by the UN and guaranteeing them right to self determination. It assured Kashmiris that their sacrifices will never go waste and will earn them freedom very soon. In another resolution, the meeting expressed serious concerns over the Zionist conspiracies against Middle East by throwing the whole region into flames. It took serious notice of the security and political situation in Palestine, Iraq, Lebanon, Sudan, Iran and Gulf states created by western powers. It said depriving Palestinians' elected representatives their democratic right to form and run government is highly condemnable and said that now they were being subjected to economic and food blockade to punish them for exercising their right to franchise according to their will. They condemned Washington for backing the occupant Zionist forces and their conspiracies aimed at pressurizing Hamas government to acknowledge Israel by giving up their just stance of the last six decades. The meeting said Washington has adopted divide and rule policy for Muslims in order to get itself away with the destruction and devastation in Iraq which has now turned into a grave yard for US forces. The meeting further criticized Bush administration to sidestepping the Baker Hamilton committee recommendations which the saner people of the world had been voicing from the first day American forces invaded Iraq. The meeting lashed out at Washington for harassing and conspiring against Iran for forcing her to shun its peaceful nuclear program. The meeting demanded of the Muslims to hold fast to the rope of Allah and get united by not leaving their brothers alone in trouble and sufferings. |
