KARACHI – Jamaat-e-Islami Sindh (JI) on Friday expressed deepest concern over injustice and discrimination with Dr Aafia in American court where she was convicted even when the evidence brought before the judge proved false.
This was said in a joint resolution after the meeting of advisory committee of Jamaat-e-Islami Sindh here.

The JI leaders said that it has become loud and clear that American justice system is based on discrimination and it has duality while delivering justice to Muslims. They angered over the American court by saying that witness were proved false but it convicted Aafia as guilty for the sake of protecting the moral of American soldiers which amounts to denial of justice by the court. The JI leaders said that the court issued a verdict that is based on prejudice and it afflicts the a woman and the entire Muslim Ummah.

In another resolution the JI Sindh lamented over the situation in Karachi which according it was disappointing. It read that the surge in crime rate and fast declining business and social activities have been depriving the citizens of Karachi of a peaceful environment. The parties at the helm of affairs have no concern with the problems of the masses and are only protecting their own entrenched interests of occupying plots and land grabbing. The JI leaders said that all coalition partners were part of this ongoing snap of crime so government is bound to provide compensation to all affected families of these tragedies and it should also ensure to implement the decisions decided in All Parties Conference organized by the Sindh government at CM’s House.

The JI leaders demanded to redress the declining standard of education in the province. They said that literacy rate though claimed by government increasing but the ground reality is that it has gone miles back. They urged upon the government to control increasing trend of carrying ammunition in the universities which has ended in killing of many youths in recent past.

They also pointed at the killings of many youths at Shah Latif University, Sindh University and Tando Jam Agriculture University where many students have lost their lives in firing between different student’s factions and this led to suspension of educational activities in the institutions. They asked the authorities to improve security measures at these universities and secure education and future of young students.
