Fears of break-up of Wafaq-ul-Madaris
Karachi, Aug 5: The country's top clerics and seminary leaders are meeting on
Monday amid fears of disintegration of their supreme body- the Wafaq-ul-Madaris
- over the Lal Masjid operation, as anger mounts over the role played by the
body.
A group of hard liners within the Deobandi school is angry over the
role of the clerics involved with the Wafaq-ul-Madaris and is calling for
protests and initiating a movement against the government.
Sources within
the Ulema in Karachi said that an emergent meeting of the
Majlis-e-Shura of Wafaq-ul-Madaris has been summoned at its headquarters in
Multan on Monday to discuss the Lal Masjid issue and adopt a unanimous stand
against the government's controversial military action.
It is learnt that
the majority of the students of seminaries have threatened to boycott their
forthcoming final exams, scheduled for August 11 all over the country unless
their mentors come up with some action plan to avenge the killings.
"The
situation at seminaries is highly tense and students are no longer in the
control of Ulema and their teachers. Instead of preparing for their final exams,
they are planning for country-wide protests and violent action against the
authorities," head of a local seminary disclosed.
He observed that if the
Majlis-e-Shura of the supreme body failed to come up with decisions, it could
jeopardise the existence of the Wafaq.
"Maulana Abdur Rasheed Ghazi and
his followers, killed in the military operation, are taken as martyrs by
majority of religious students and now everybody wanted to follow them. Same is
the opinion of some Ulema, who are calling for an uprising against the
government," he claimed.
The hard line group of clerics comprises Maulana
Abdul Rauf Farooqui, Dr Sher Ali Shah and Maulana Noor-ul-Huda. They have the
support of a majority of prominent seminaries in Sindh, Punjab and NWFP.
However, a group of moderate clerics seeks dissociation of component seminaries
of the Wafaq from all kinds of political activities.
A member of the said
group, who requested not to be named, said that although Wafaq-ul-Madaris was an
examination board, it remained involved in political activities for quite some
time. ìAnd when it was time to play their role in the crisis of Lal Masjid, the
Wafaq miserably failed to do anything, disappointing not only its members but
its followers and sympathisers as well" he claimed.
"Some important
clerics including Wafaq's chief Maulana Saleemullah Khan and Qari Hanif
Jalandhri may tender their resignations at the start of Monday meeting to clam
down the annoyed group" a senior cleric said. But analysts closely monitoring
the activities of clerics and seminary students fear that the country could
witness sharp rise in incidents of extremism and violent activities if something
was not done by the leading prominent scholars of Deabandi school of thought to
calm down their followers. The news
