He appealed the international community to play its role in implementation of UN resolutions on IHK.
He further said that Muslims of Pakistan would never allow amendment in Blasphemy laws. He said religious parties in the country were united on one point agenda that they would protect laws concerning to religious identity of the country at all cost, no matter what political differences they have had.
JI Naib Amir Dr Farid Paracha said the reports of the State Bank and the IMF on country's economy was matter of grave concern for every Pakistani. According to both reports, said Dr Paracha, the devaluation of rupee led to the rise in inflation. He said the poor and middle class were the victims of bad economy as they could not afford purchasing basic commodities of daily life. He said the government imposed heavy taxes on the working class and small traders while the big fish and corrupt mafia were set free.
JI Naib Amir Rashid Naseem said the curfew entered 49th day in the occupied region and millions of people had no access to food and medicines. The people of IHK, he added, were not allowed to go to masques while school, hospitals and markers were also closed. He said India had turned Kashmir the biggest prison in world.
