Chief of Jamaat-e-Islami Senator Sirajul Haq has said that the unity of the religious forces was inevitable for safeguarding the Islamic identity of the country. Addressing the Ijtema of the Jamiat-e-Talaba Arabia at Mansoora, he said that the colonial powers and international establishment were conspiring to undo the Islamic identity of this country and unfortunately, the country's rulers were also advancing the enemy agenda.
Sirajul Haq said the row between the state institutions on DAWN leaks was due to the incompetence and mishandling of the issue by the government. He said that the DAWN leaks report was out a day before its being made public. He asked the Interior Minister to explain who was responsible for this lapse.
The JI chief impressed upon the religious leadership to sink their petty differences and unite on one platform. He said that the safeguarding the country's identity was far more important at this stage than the personal and party considerations. He said if the religious forces did not realize their real role at this juncture and stuck to their minor differences, the new generation of those loyal to the East India Company would not hesitate in playing with the country's solidarity.
Sirajul Haq said that the poor masses had always offered sacrifices for the country while the so called elite had been compromising on vital national interests for personal gains. He said that the country at present was facing conspiracies both from within and outside and its defense was sacred Jehad. He said there was no obstacle in the unity of the religious forces as the common goal before them was the enforcement of the Shariah. He said that the differences of the Ulema always benefited the vested interests.
