Students for jihad against blasphemy, Sarabjit's release
Lahore: Hundreds of students belonging to different students unions on
Friday demanded waging a jihad against Denmark and the Netherlands for their
blasphemous caricatures and movie, and expulsion of their ambassadors and a halt
to official moves to pardon Indian terrorist Sarabjit Singh and make a hero out
of him.
Dubbing Ansar Burney as in Indian agent, the students warned
that if Sarabjit Singh was released then all students unions would launch joint
movement against the government.
These demands were made by various
student leaders while addressing a Hurmat-e-Rasool (SAW) conference outside
Lahore Press Club on Friday evening. The moot was held under the aegis of Tulaba
Jamaatud Dawah.
They held the moot to condemn the blasphemy of the
Prophet (SAW) by western media and regimes besides the movie by a Dutch lawmaker
that ridiculed The Quran.
Students of various unions affiliated with
different political parties reached the Lahore Press club in shape of rallies,
chanting slogans and holding banners and placards. They blocked the road, which
caused traffic jams on Davis Road, Empress Road and Edgerton road at the rush
hour.
The speakers demanded boycott of western products, culture and
promotion of Islamic teachings at the grassroots level. They also demanded
abolishing GRE tests for admissions at university level, release of national
hero Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan and awarding him due honour. Addressing the
conference, president of Muttahida Tulaba Mahaz (MTM), an organisation of
different students unions, Syed Raheel Shah, warned Muslim rulers against
protecting western interests instead of the honour of the Prophet of Islam
(SAW).
Terming the blasphemous cartoons and the film a well thought-out
conspiracy by Zionists and Crusaders to avenge the spread of Islam in the west,
he threatened that if an appropriate action was not taken against them at the
government level then the students would be forced to launch a movement.
Tulaba Jamaatud Dawah Ameer Muzammil Iqbal Hashmi demanded that Muslim
rulers must make a legislation at the global level to punish the blasphemers of
the Prophet (SAW) according to Islamic code and that a complete diplomatic and
trade boycott should be held of countries involved in such a heinous act.
He warned that Ansar Burney was implementing Indian designs in the garb
of human rights, and demanded that he should be arrested and tried for treason.
He further warned that release of Sarabjit Singh would amount to humiliate the
whole nation.
MTM General Secretary Asif Khurshid said blasphemous
caricatures were part of Crusade in the garb of freedom of expression. MSF-N
President Rana Arshad said clergy of European countries were equally involved in
the blasphemous caricatures since they defended the heinous act instead of
condemning and stopping it.
Ahle Hadith Students Federation President
Babar Farooq Rahimi said the Musharraf regime had taken a cowardly stance on the
blasphemous caricatures, which has encouraged the culprits to repeat the offence
unabashed. He said that any courageous stance by Muslim rulers could have
deterred the accused from such activities much earlier. The News
