Armed struggle not right path to get power: JI
[DAWN] 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...
chief Senator Sirajul Haq
...current head of the Pak Jamaat-e-Islami. Siraj was born in 1962 and entered politics shortly after that...
exhorted on Friday the elements carrying out armed struggles to get power to adopt the democratic path for the purpose.

Talking to news hounds here at Markaz Tableegh-e-Islam, he asked the government to come forward to accept the success or shortcomings of the National Action Plan, adding that army was just an state institution, which was not answerable to people.

He said a review of the progress on the 20-point NAP in the Senate revealed that the government's performance was poor as neither reforms in tribal areas had been introduced nor had reconciliation been achieved in Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
.

He claimed that poverty and ignorance had increased and criminal justice system had not been reformed, but police had been massively used to intimidate Learned Elders of Islam.

In reply to a question, Senator Haq said, "Islamic movements and Learned Elders of Islam are unanimous that gangs which want power for achievement of their goals should adopt the path of democracy and preaching Islam".
