The Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) announced on Thursday that it will stage protest in the federal capital against Israeli atrocities in Gaza on Sunday, (March 10).
Addressing the press conference in Islamabad, JI Emir Sirajul Haq said: “We will stage a protest on March 10 from Aabpara Chowk to the US Embassy at 2:00 pm.”
“The people of Palestine are asking for help. Now we will not remain silent. 31,500 Palestinians had been martyred.” he added.
Scolding the political opponents, Haq said: “I was having the hope that the Palestinian issue would be highlighted following the formation of the government.”
– Robust democracy –
Separately, Haq stressed on Thursday the need for robust democracy.
Addressing a press conference in Lahore, Haq said: “There exists such a democracy in the country where decisions are made before and elections are held afterwards.”
He recalled the recently held elections, saying, “Even as of now, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has not managed to provide clarification over the delay in the poll results.”
“Though Shehbaz Sharif has not taken the oath as the country’s prime minister, But he [Shehbaz Sharif] is still saying that the country has no option but to approach the International Monetary Fund (IMF).”
Deeming the elections as "fraud," she said, “Even the recently held elections were based on rigging like the elections held previously.”
