Detail: LAHORE, Apr. 2: JI chief said that the 18th constitutional amendment would be of no use if the problems of the masses were not solved.
The country remained under the grip of the IMF and the US continued to dictate the rulers. “If the people in the President house and the Governor and Chief Minister Houses keep on extracting money from the pockets of the common man through novel means, the rights of the youth are denied and their future is put at stake, extremism is bound to increase”, he said, while addressing the Friday congregation at Mansoora mosque.
A meaningful change can’t be struck without eliminating the fountain heads of oppression, he added.
Munawar Hasan noted that it was during the PPP government that the 1973 constitution was passed unanimously. However, soon afterwards, emergency was enforced and the constitution was suspended. Subsequently, various amendments were adopted by the government unilaterally that were never endorsed by the political circles or the masses.
He said the real test of the ruling party lay in implementation of the amendment package. He said true democracy calls for elimination of the role of the armed forces and the agencies in politics.
The military high ups should be asked not to meet the Americans, and the Americans also be told to settle issues with the political government instead of running to the armed forces.
The JI chief stressed that all the institutions should function within the constitution and the law. If the Supreme Court 17- member judgment delivered in December last year was not implemented even in April, 2010, it would amount to negation of democracy and law, he said. He said as long as corruption and falsehood prevail, justice could not be enforced. He deplored that the Law Minister was proving a hurdle in the enforcement of the law and the revival of Swiss cases. Referring to the JI’s move for Reverting to Allah, he said, this move was aimed at bringing the masses back on the path of Allah and shaking the hold of the elements which openly revolt against the divine guidance.
