Jamaat-i-Islami Amir Munawar Hasan said on Tuesday Dr Tahirul Qadri will not succeed in his bid to prevent the inevitable change in the country.
He was addressing the concluding session of a five-day JI workshop at Mansoora. He said the forces opposed to an Islamic revolution in the country wanted to spread disappointment among people but the people could no longer be fooled.
He urged the army chief to give a befitting reply to the allegations leveled by his Indian counterpart. He said the “cowardly silence” of the country’s rulers in response to the Indian aggression at the LoC had caused disappointment among the masses. He said India wanted a war in the region.
He said the JI was not against the US itself, but it was against the anti-Islam and anti-Muslim policies of Washington. He said the hatred against the US was rising. He said the US wanted to destabilise Pakistan through its agents to achieve its unholy goals.
He said the masses condemned the so-called democratic government that ignored democratic values.
