QUETTA: NWFP Senior Minister  Sirajul Haq has said that the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) will continue its struggle for the enforcement of Islamic law, Sharia, in the country as “it is the only remedy to Pakistan’s existing problems”.
| "That's right! We need more shariah!" |
Addressing a congregation organised by the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) at Quetta’s Ayub Stadium, Siraj said General Musharraf had failed to meet public expectations. He accused the president of snubbing public demand. | ...the very existence of Islam was in danger and an alien culture was being introduced in the country under the umbrella of “enlightened moderation”... |
“The people of Pakistan want a system that provides them immediate relief and swift justice. Gen Musharraf’s government has caused more problems than solving problems,” he said.
Siraj criticised the present government’s foreign policy and condemned its “silence towards the latest developments in Middle East”. He said that Pakistan was desperately in need of courts that provided justice according to Quranic teachings. The present regime, he alleged, was acting on the directives of its “Western masters”, particularly the US. Due to the policies of the present government, the very existence of Islam was in danger and an alien culture was being introduced in the country under the umbrella of “enlightened moderation”, he said. “Pakistan needs the Islamic system and the MMA will thwart all plans to hinder its enforcement,” he said. He said that if Gen Musharraf did not doff his uniform, he would ultimately face “a humiliating fate”. |
