Deputy Chief of the Jamaat-e-Islami, Mian Muhammad Aslam, has said that peace could not return to Pakistan as long as the people in power continued their conspiracies to keep the country away from Islam. Addressing the participants of the JI central workshop at Mansoora, on Wednesday, he said that a system based on tyranny and oppression had been continuing in the country because the reign of power had remained in the hands of the corrupt.
The common man was suffering from hunger and want and the poor were committing suicide while the ruling elite was enjoying in palaces, he said. He said that the general public had lost trust in the rulers and the JI alone could fill the vacuum. Mian Muhammad Aslam said that in the local bodies' elections, JI would field honest and competent workers as candidates and the party would emerge as a strong national party under the leadership of the JI Ameer, Siraj-ul-Haq.
He further said that the ruling elite that loved the western democracy had not allowed the enforcement of the Islamic system in the country for a single day but was blaming Islam for the lawlessness and all other evils. He said that the supremacy of Islam could be established through love and not by bloodshed. However, he said, that the west was propagating against Islam only because it was afraid of the spread of the Islam, although its fears were unfounded.
