JI announces countrywide march
40
KARACHI: Jamaat-i-Islami chief Senator Siraj-ul-Haq announced on Sunday a “Tehreek-i-Hurmat-i-Rasool’ march that would begin from Karachi and end in Chitral.
Speaking at a rally here at Hasan Square, he appealed to all religious parties to unite on a single point agenda for ‘Hurmat-i-Rasool’.
Chanting slogans against the acquittal of Aasia Bibi in a blasphemy case, scores of people along with their families participated in the rally.
The JI chief said that Prime Minister Imran Khan had tried to defuse the recent situation just for the sake of his government and to increase his vote bank.
He added that the people of the country had rejected the acquittal of Aasia Bibi.
He said that the government was making false claims for ending sit-ins from different parts of the country.

Is Mr. Sirajul Haque out of sence?
And he does not feel shame that he sits with the corrupts, cronies, criminals and culprits of PPP, PML-N and Maulana Fazlur Rahman-Group.
The people have no more confidence on Islamic religious parties, unfortunately.

Mob rule cant be accepted. A case was presented in front of the top judges of this country and they found that the presented evidence not sufficient to convict Asia bibi. Who are these maulvis to say otherwise

Actions like this are the very reason Pakistani people dislike religious-political parties.
They have no place in Naya Pakistan.

These people have nothing to do. I believe that a busy person in his day to day life will not even think about these matters. The SC made a decision and it should be stopped there. No need to go beyond the decision of SC.

I may like to join this march only because for the first time I see my district Chitral being acknowledged as the northern most point of our country . In the past it used to be " from Karachi to Khyber" Well done Siraj ul haq for mentioning Chitral. Even if it is for a different reason.

SirajulHaq should rather apply to become a party to the review petition, bring forth his evidence in the case and try to ensure that Justice is done. No point in exploiting and playing with religious sentiment like what he is trying to do.
