JI chief condemns Myanmar killings

LAHORE: Jamat e Islami Chief Syed Munawar Hassan has said that if the OIC was alive and if the Muslim rulers had any sense of honour left, they should endeavour to stop the bloddshed of the Arakan Muslims.

Addressing the Friday congregation at Mansoora mosque, Munawar Hassan said had such brutalities been perpetrated against any other community, the world press, the UNO, and the NGOs would have been crying hoarse over that, but no one was taking notice of the bloodletting of the Muslims. He said that thousands of the Arakan Muslims had been killed during the last weeks.

He said that the Arakan Muslims wanted to cross over to Bangladesh but Bangladesh had closed its borders to them and the BD government was leveling false allegations on them.

The JI Ameer said that since the 9/11, the west, under the patronage of the US, had picked up confrontation with the Muslim world as they believed that Islam was the greatest obstacles in the advancement of the western civilization. That was why the Muslims were being victimized all over the world.

He said the Haqqani network was active inside Afghanistan and the NATO forces had failed to check it.

Syed Munawar Hasan said that the stoppage of the NATO supplies had confined the US and its allies into a blind alley and they wanted restoration of NATO supplies at any cost. However, the Pakistan nation would not allow that.

The JI Ameer said that the government had made life miserable for the common man and people were committing suicides but the shameless rulers said this was something ordinary. He said, the nation could not expect anything good from the NRO brand rulers who felt proud of US slavery.
