Secretary General, Jamaat-i-Islami, Liaqat Baloch, has said that Iran-Pakistan gas pipe line project would lead to industrial development and strengthen the ties between the two countries. He was talking to Iranian Consul General Muhammad Husain bani Asadi and the members of the Business Forum Punjab, here on Tuesday. Liaqat Baloch said that close relations between the people of Iran and Pakistan were essential for regional peace.
He welcomed the Iran-Pakistan gas pipe line project and said terrorist activities and target killings in the two countries were being done by the colonial power that was enemy of the both.
He hoped that the Business Forum would play a leading role in promoting the bilateral trade and ties between the two countries and added that unity of the Muslim Ummah was the biggest objective of the JI. While addressing corner meetings in his constituency, Liaqat Baloch said women folk, youth, students, workers and the oppressed people were the real force of the JI. He was confident that the corrupt politicians changing their loyalties would be wiped out in the coming polls.
He said elections were indispensable and any attempt to subvert the polls would be disastrous. The JI, he said, would contest the election on its own election symbol and manifesto. He said that emotional slogans and disorganised people could not bring about lasting change as was evident from the historic French revolution where the oppressed turned into the biggest oppressors and tyrants after the revolution. "The only mode of a peaceful and lasting change was the one adopted by the Holy Prophet (PBUH)," he added.
