Islamabad: Pakistan Army has strongly condemned the ‘irresponsible and misleading’ remarks of ameer (chief) of Jamat-e-Islami (JI) in which he questioned the martyrdom of Pakistani troops in war on terror.
According to an official communique issued by Inter Service Public Relation (ISPR) on Sunday night, the statement of Munawar Hassan as ‘irresponsible and misleading remarks’.
Communique further said that Munawar’s statement was an insult to the shahadat (martyrdom) of innocent Pakistani soldiers. “He tried to invent a logic on his political convenience,” ISPR added.
It further said that “Sacrifices of our shuhada and their families need no endorsement from Syed Munawar Hassan and such misguided and self-serving statements deserve no comments. However, coming from Ameer of the Jamat-e-Islami, a party founded by Maulana Maududi, who is respected and revered for his services to Islam is both painful and unfortunate.”
The complete text of the ISPR’s press release is given under:
A spokesman of ISPR strongly condemned the irresponsible and misleading remarks by Syed Munawar Hassan in a TV programme, declaring the dead terrorists as shaheeds while insulting the shahadat of thousands of innocent Pakistanis and soldiers of Pakistan’s armed forces. Syed Munawar Hassan has tried to invent a logic based on his political convenience. Strong condemnation of his views from an overwhelming majority leaves no doubt in any one’s mind that all of us are very clear on what the state of Pakistan is and who are its enemies.
Sacrifices of our shuhada and their families need no endorsement from Syed Munawar Hassan and such misguided and self-serving statements deserve no comments. However, coming from Ameer of the Jamat-e-Islami, a party founded by Maulana Maududi, who is respected and revered for his services to Islam is both painful and unfortunate.
The people of Pakistan, whose loved ones laid down their life while fighting the terrorist, and families of shuhada of armed forces demand an unconditional apology from Syed Munawar Hassan for hurting their feelings. It is also expected that Jamat-e-Islami should clearly state its party position on the subject.
