Ismail Khan Calls Jamiat Party's Congress, Election 'Fake'

2021-03-23

[ToloNews] Mohammad Ismail Khan, a senior member of Jamaat-e-Islami
...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores...
party and a former mujahedeen leader, on Monday said the party congress that was held last week was "fake" and that the leaders of Jamaat who attended the event thought it was aimed at building a consensus among political parties around peace.

The meeting was held by one faction of the Jamaat party, which is led by Ata Mohammad Noor.

Khan said that regarding the recent rift between Salauddin Rabani and Ata Mohammad Noor, he supports neither of them and he warned against division within the party.

"When we went to the meeting, during that meeting, its direction changed and they mentioned the party congress. I tried very hard to prevent this and told them that no standard has been met for a party congress," he said.

"We should make a logical decision for the upcoming ~~The Sick Man of Europe~~ Turkey

conference so that we hopefully mobilize Jamaat members’ views on major decision-making," Khan said.

The Jamaat-e-Islami faction led by Noor did not comment on the claims, but the mobilization council of the party said that they are working on a mechanism to overcome the rift.

"If they do not come together in a structured way, they should at least have some representatives so that one voice is heard from this big identity that has always fought for values," said Abdul Rahim, the head of the council.

Salahuddin Rabbani, the acting head of the rival Jamaat-e-Islami faction, has said that he will not allow Jamaat’s voice to be silenced in the upcoming Istanbul conference on Afghan peace.

"We will not allow the disgraceful experience of the Bonn conference to be imposed on our people once again and we should not stay calm about such a situation," Rabbani said.

The rift between Noor and Rabbani over the leadership of the party began eight months ago. In a controversial congress meeting of the party last week, Noor was elected head of the party.
