JI Emir rejects govt proposed two-state solution of Palestine issue

Mansehra: Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Emir Engineer Hafiz Naeemur Rehman has strongly rejected Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar's remarks describing the two-state solution as Pakistan's official policy on Palestine, declaring that such a proposal was never decided by parliament or any national forum. He said Pakistan and its people have always supported the establishment of a free and independent Palestinian state, and no ruler has the authority to recognize Israel.Speaking at the Bano Qabil program ceremony organized by Alkhidmat Foundation in Mansehra on Friday, Hafiz Naeemur Rehman said the government bowed to Washington by floating the two-state idea, which he said amounted to supporting Donald Trump's so-called Gaza Peace Plan. He warned that rulers may act as slaves of America, but the people of Pakistan will never accept recognition of the Zionist occupier of Palestine.The JI chief condemned Israel's siege and killings in Gaza, the attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla, and the dete ntion of humanitarian activists, including Pakistani nationals. He demanded their immediate release, saying the nation stands with Hamas and the people of Palestine. He criticized Pakistani leaders and political parties for remaining silent on Israeli and American crimes, asserting that only Jamaat-e-Islami is resisting US and Israeli policies.Hafiz Naeemur Rehman highlighted education as the right of every citizen and a duty of the state. He announced the expansion of Bano Qabil across the country, pledging free IT training for one million young men and women through short courses and degree programs to boost Pakistan's IT exports. At the Mansehra entry test, a large number of boys and girls applied for free enrollment in IT courses. He congratulated the local JI and Alkhidmat teams for the successful event.Calling on youth to rise against a corrupt ruling elite, Hafiz Naeemur Rehman urged them to join JI's peaceful democratic struggle for change. He said the ruling class unites to increase its privilege s while the people are divided, but the nation must unite for its rights. 'Education, healthcare and basic services are not charity, they are the right of the people for which they already pay taxes,' he added. The ceremony was attended by JI Hazara Emir Abdul Razzaq Abbasi, Alkhidmat General Secretary Waqas Anjum Jafri, Shahid Iqbal, Umair Idrees, and other local leaders.
