Jamaat Eshatud Tauheed Wa Sunnah (JETWS) will support the Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) nominated candidates in the upcoming general elections on May 11. "We will not support the political parties, requesting the US Ambassador for support in the upcoming elections and contesting against Ulema-e-Haq, said Shaikhul Quran Maulana Muhammad Tayyab Tahiri chief of his own faction Jamaat Eshatud Tauheed Wa Sunnah (JETWS).
This he said while speaking the "Ulema Conference" organised by Jamiat Itehadul Ulema district Peshawar on Thursday here at Al-Markaz Islami, the JI provincial head office at GT road. He further said that his Jamaat would unconditionally support only the persons of good character and pro-Islamic religious forces against the secular parties.
The conference was held under the auspicious of JI Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chapter general secretary and its candidate from NA-1, Shabir Ahmad Khan. In the conference besides others, JETWS provincial and district leaders including Maulana Ameer Jan, Mufti Muhammad Ayaz, former member National Assembly Dr Ataur Rahman, Maulana Shaikh Inayatur Rahman, Maulana Sahibzada, Maulana Muhammad Arif, JI district Ameer Bahrullah, Dr Muhammad Iqbal Khalil and President Itehadul Ulama Peshawar, Maulana Hanifullah participated.
On the occasion, JETWS central Ameer Maulana Tayyab regretted that a judicial system of Islam was not enforced in a country that was got in the name of Islam, despite lapse of 65 years of independence. "The basic reason for not enforcing the Sharia system was a distance of the rulers from Islam, and those Ulema as well who were got success in the name of Islam in elections and turned a part of the government and forget the commitment of Islamic system, he maintained.
The materialistic approach of JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rahman earned a bad name for Ulema, and time has come to make accountable the selfish Ulema, he remarked. That's why the JETWJ has decided to support the Ulema on right path in the country and across the world.
