The Jamaat-e-Islami chief, Syed Munawar Hasan, has said that the Egyptian
revolution was an eyesore for Israel and its patron the US who were
conspiring to thrust dictatorship in the Muslim state in the name of
democracy by purchasing a few people for dollars.
He was talking to media men at the Lahore airport on Saturday return
from a four day visit to Egypt at the invitation of the Ikhwanul
Muslimoon leader.
Syed Munawar Hasan said that the historic change in Egypt had
emboldened the Egyptian people and strengthened their freedom movement.
He said with the end of Hosne Mubarak’s dictatorial rule, democratic
activities had started in the country in a big way and large number of
people thrown in jails for rising against dictatorship had already been
set free.
On the other hand, he said, in Pakistan, the political parties that
had been drawing all the benefits through the politics of
reconciliation and were now revealing each others corruption, had not
provided any relief to the masses.
He said, the JI delegation had greeted the Ikhwanul Muslimoon leader
Dr Muhammad Badie on the successful revolution in their country. He
said there was great enthusiasm in the Egyptian people of Cairo and
other major cities which they visited.
The Egyptian people warmly welcomed the Islamic movement leaders
from Pakistan and raised slogans in support of Pakistan and also for
the liberation of Kashmir. He said, Ghabibana Namaz e Janaza had been
held at the Tehrir Chowk in Cairo for those who laid down heir lives
for the revolution. On this occasion, rich homage was paid to the
martyrs.
Syed Munawar Hasan said that the JI and the Ikhwanul Muslimoon
leadership had a common strategy for the solution of the Muslim Ummah’s
problems and steering it out of the present mess. He believed that the
main responsibility for the prevailing conditions in the Muslim world
lay with the Muslim rulers like Zardari and Hosne Mubarak who had
willingly accepted the US slavery.
The JI chief was confident that the revolution in Egypt would have
far reaching effects in the region as also the Muslim world and it had
given a new life to the Palestinian Muslims fighting against the
Zionist state of Israel.
JI Secretary General, Liaquat Baloch and JI Information Secretary, M. Anwar Niazi, were also present on the occasion. SANA
