Lahore: Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan's Central Shura has expressed deep concern over the country's political, constitutional, economic and security situation, adopting comprehensive resolutions that call for the supremacy of the Constitution and the rule of law, transparent elections, an inclusive national political dialogue, political solutions to the crises in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a revised strategy to combat terrorism, improved Pakistan-Afghanistan relations, and negotiations to restore normalcy in Azad Jammu and Kashmir.In its political resolution, the Central Shura stated that Pakistan's political, economic, constitutional and judicial crises stem from deviations from the Constitution and democratic principles. It maintained that the alleged rigging in the 2024 general elections and the violation of the public mandate resulted in the failure of the hybrid political system, severely eroding public confidence in both the government and state institutions.The Shura called for the repeal of t he 26th and 27th constitutional amendments, restoration of the agreed constitutional framework, an independent judiciary, and the introduction of a transparent, impartial and proportional electoral system.Expressing serious concern over the deteriorating situation in Balochistan, the resolution said lawlessness, enforced disappearances, political alienation, the inequitable distribution of natural resources and widespread public deprivation had pushed the province into a grave crisis. It asserted that military operations were not the solution and stressed that lasting peace could only be achieved through restoring public trust, initiating political dialogue, guaranteeing constitutional rights and convening a national conference of all stakeholders under the auspices of the federal government. Jamaat-e-Islami also announced that it would organise a national conference on Balochistan.The Shura also voiced alarm over rising terrorism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the merged tribal districts, saying that reliance on force alone had failed to eliminate militancy. It called for rebuilding national consensus on the National Action Plan, restoring public confidence and strengthening cooperation between the federal and provincial governments to effectively tackle the security challenge.On Pakistan-Afghanistan relations, the resolution expressed concern over growing tensions and maintained that dialogue remained the only viable path to resolving bilateral disputes. It urged the Afghan authorities to take effective action against militant groups while calling on Pakistan to promote diplomacy and confidence-building measures. It further stressed that strong diplomatic and economic cooperation among Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan was essential for lasting regional peace and stability.The Central Shura also condemned India's unilateral suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, describing it as "water aggression" and a serious threat to regional peace. It urged the government to launch effective diplomatic efforts at both natio nal and international levels to safeguard Pakistan's water rights.Regarding the situation in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, the Shura called for resolving the ongoing crisis through dialogue rather than the use of force. It urged the implementation of accepted public demands, resolution of disputed issues within the constitutional framework, and the holding of timely, free and fair elections. While recognising peaceful protest as a democratic right, the resolution cautioned against actions that could undermine the Kashmir freedom movement.In a separate resolution on terrorism, the Central Shura expressed grave concern over the spread of militancy from Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Karachi and Islamabad to Azad Jammu and Kashmir. It stated that successive governments and security institutions had failed to formulate an effective strategy to restore lasting peace, adding that the permanent solution to terrorism lay in justice, constitutional governance and restoring public confidence.The resolution maintained that the armed forces' primary responsibility was the defence of the country's borders, while internal security should be entrusted to police and civilian law enforcement agencies. It called for limiting the military's role in domestic affairs, strengthening police institutions with modern resources, and ensuring the early rehabilitation of displaced residents from Bajaur, Tirah and other conflict-affected areas.Reaffirming its future course of action, the Central Shura said Jamaat-e-Islami would continue its peaceful democratic struggle for constitutional supremacy, Islamic governance, democratic stability, national unity and the protection of public rights across Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, Azad Jammu and Kashmir and the rest of the country.The party also pledged to expand its public outreach campaign, membership drive, youth and women's mobilisation, and the "Bano Qabil" skills programme, while continuing its campaign for an interest-free Islamic economic system, against independent power p roducers (IPPs) and petroleum levy taxes, and for the protection of citizens' economic and democratic rights.
