Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) Chief Syed Munawwar Hasan has said that looking after of the needy, deprived and less privileged people is the core responsibility of the Islamic welfare state, but unfortunately the government was not discharging its duties in this regard. He expressed these views during a distribution ceremony of 200 wheel chairs among disable children organised by Nusrat Trust for Special Children at Abu-Bakr Mosque in Clifton here on Sunday.
Speaking on the occasion, JI Chief said that the private sector was mostly involved in the welfare works as compared to government sector, adding that the Nusrat Trust has already done a lot in this regard.
Hasan hailed the performance of the Chairman Nusrat Trust Mufti Muhammad Mohiuddin and said that he would definitely get success in his welfare works, as he is working for the ailing community. JI Chief has assured his full support to the Chairman Nusrat Trust and said that his party stands shoulder to shoulder with the Trust and its Chairman.
Hasan further said that the private welfare organisations were efficiently working for the welfare and the well being of the needy and less privileged people and providing them basic necessities including education, health and medical.
"It is an obligation of every Muslim to be a part of such welfare activities, as our religion and Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) teach us the same," JI chief added.
