Following the assassination of Tehreek-e-Tahfuzz-e-Khatm-e-Nabuwat clerics on late Thursday night, the Jamiat-e-Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) has given a strike call for Saturday.
The announcement was made at a press conference held at the JUI headquarter on Friday by Ameer, JUI Karachi, Qari Usman.
The strike call is being backed by other political and religious parties with Jamaat-e-Islami, JUP Sahibzada Karim, PML, NDP and other political groups extended their support.
Addressing the press conference, Qari said, “Zaid Zaman, commonly known as Zaid Hamid Khalifa of Yousuf Kazab, is the main person who brutally murdered our leaders. After hectic consultations, we have decided to nominate him in the FIR.”
Holding the Sindh government responsible for this tragic act, he demanded that culprits should immediately be arrested and Khalifa of Kazab should be hanged to death.
The decision to give a call for strike was taken after night long session between the Ulemas of Deoband sect as according to them, the government has become helpless and Ulemas are left at the mercy of terrorists, he added.
“The strike would be peaceful as Islam is a peace loving religion. We, the believers, do not want to come out on the streets but the situation has forced us to express our resentment,” Qari said. He appealed to the citizens to remain indoors during the strike and urged the traders and transporters to make the strike successful by closing business and keeping the vehicles off the road.
“Had the government arrested the killers of Mufti Shamzai and Mufti Yousuf Ludhyanvi the incident would have not occurred,” he charged. He said that if government failed to apprehend the real culprits, we would be compelled to take any action as this incident has broken all previous records and it is hard to keep the followers of Jalalpuri calm.
Moulana Akram Nomani speaking on the occasion showed a letter of Moulana Saeed Ahmed Jalalpuri in which he had openly challenged Zaid Hamid for his claim of declaring Yousuf Kazab a true Muslim.
He also disclosed that a day ago, Zaid had also called Moulana Ludhvani threatening to kill him and he succeeded in his ulterior motives. He said that no government personalities have approached them so far apart from the governor Sindh, who in continuous contact with the Ulemas.
