Lahore: Vice Emir of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan and Secretary General of Milli Yakjehti Council Liaquat Baloch has urged the Afghan Taliban government to end its patronage of terrorist organizations and take clear and concrete steps to ensure lasting peace in the region.Addressing the annual meeting of the Central Shura of Islami Jamiat Talaba in Lahore, Liaquat Baloch said tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan were increasing and warned that the risk of conflict in the region was growing. He emphasized that the Taliban government must act decisively to prevent militant groups from operating from Afghan soil.He also stressed that political stability in Pakistan required an end to the ongoing political crises, adding that unresolved internal conflicts were weakening the country at a critical time.Praising Islami Jamiat Talaba, Baloch described it as a nationwide, organized and active student body that enjoys wide support among students across the country. He said the organization had continued its str uggle for the protection of Islamic ideological values and the rights of students for the past 78 years through dedicated and selfless efforts.Baloch criticized what he termed the reluctance of the civil-military establishment, vested political elites, feudal and capitalist classes, and populist rulers to restore democratic rights for students. Despite decisions by the Supreme Court, parliament and cabinets, he said, governments in Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the federal capital Islamabad had failed to hold student union elections. He called for immediate elections to student unions to promote democratic and national political training of the younger generation.Earlier, Baloch attended a prayer ceremony held for veteran politician Syed Zaeem Qadri and offered condolences over the death of Asim Aziz, brother of former information secretary Shoaib Bin Aziz. He also addressed a public Iftar program hosted by senior Jamaat-e-Islami leader Faiz-ul-Bari.Speaking on regional developments , Baloch said the leadership and people of Iran had demonstrated remarkable resilience in the face of what he described as aggression by the United States and Israel. He said Washington and Tel Aviv were attempting to deepen divisions within the Muslim world and create sectarian tensions by imposing war on Iran.He urged Muslim countries to stop attacks on Iran launched from American bases located on their soil and called upon the leadership of the Muslim world not to remain indifferent to the evolving situations in Iran and Afghanistan. According to him, the changing regional and global circumstances required an immediate, active and effective response from the Muslim world.Baloch concluded that the people of Pakistan remained united and resolute in safeguarding the country's independence and security, urging the national political leadership to play a proactive role while also calling on the government and the civil-military establishment to change their mindset in light of the current challenges.
