JI Emir Rejects Monopoly under Pretext of State Writ

Sargodha – Oct 17: Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Emir Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman said that the rulers are attempting to assert the “state writ” by imposing bans on political parties, curbing free speech, and restricting public gatherings.
Addressing the Bano Qabil ceremony in Sargodha on Friday, he said that people were not allowed to voice concerns, whether against electoral rigging or imposed governments through Form 47.
“Why is the state failing to establish its writ in crucial areas such as education, healthcare, and basic public services?” he questioned, vowing that JI will never accept personal monopolies in the name of state authority. He added that JI, in collaboration with the youth, will peacefully uproot the outdated and exploitative system.
Calling on the youth to prepare for peaceful change, he announced that JI will hold a massive public gathering at Minar-e-Pakistan on November 21, 22, and 23, which, he said, would signal the beginning of a major political transformation in Pakistan.
Rehman said that for over three decades, the country has been ruled directly by generals, while in the remaining years, their imposed political proxies continued to govern. “Feudal lords, dynastic political parties run by inheritance and personal will, along with the civil-military bureaucracy, have collectively failed the nation,” he remarked.
He lamented that unemployment and inflation are crushing the people, education has become unaffordable, healthcare is inaccessible, and over 110 million Pakistanis live below the poverty line. “Courts have failed to deliver justice, and the ruling elite must admit their incompetence—they cannot run this country,” he added.
The JI leader also criticized federal and provincial governments for failing to provide educational opportunities. “When Jamaat-e-Islami and Alkhidmat can educate millions for free, why can’t the state? Nearly 28 million children are out of school—this is a national tragedy,” he said.
Under the Alkhidmat Bano Qabil program, thousands of male and female students appeared in the entrance test for free IT courses. Rehman announced that while the initial target was to train one million students across Pakistan, over 1.1 million have already registered. “Given the overwhelming response, we have decided to expand the target to two million students,” he said, congratulating the participants and lauding the organizational efforts of JI and Alkhidmat. He expressed confidence that Bano Qabil would prove to be a “game changer” for Pakistan’s youth.
