Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman delivered a powerful address in Sukkur on Friday, where he sharply criticized the United States, Israel, and India for pursuing a common agenda that he described as aggressive and harmful to humanity. Speaking at a public gathering, he highlighted the ongoing violence in the Muslim world, particularly condemning the bombings in Iran during the holy month of Ramazan. He emphasized the urgent need for the Muslim Ummah to come together in solidarity to confront these challenges.
Hafiz Naeemur Rehman accused the US and Israel of orchestrating attacks that deliberately target innocent civilians, including children, framing these actions as blatant acts of aggression against humanity. He argued that these global powers are imposing wars in the region not for peace or justice, but to maintain their geopolitical dominance and control over strategic resources. him, such conflicts only serve the interests of tyrannical regimes, while causing immense suffering to ordinary people.
Turning his focus to Pakistan’s domestic political landscape, the JI leader expressed deep concern over the country’s leadership, accusing them of compromising national dignity in an attempt to appease the United States. He described the nomination of the American president for the Nobel Peace Prize as a regrettable and ironic development, especially in light of the US’s unilateral military actions. Hafiz Naeemur Rehman pointed out that the recent attack on Iran was conducted without the consent of the US Congress, undermining the West’s proclaimed commitment to democracy and lawful governance.
He further condemned the use of advanced weaponry against civilians in Palestine and the Gaza Strip, highlighting the ongoing humanitarian crisis there. The JI chief criticized major political parties in Pakistan for their reluctance to openly challenge US policies or speak out against former President Donald Trump’s administration. He stressed that Pakistan should chart its own independent foreign policy, free from external influence, and asserted that the country’s status as a nuclear power must be preserved and strengthened to safeguard its sovereignty.
Addressing internal issues, Hafiz Naeemur Rehman lamented the entrenched feudal and capitalist systems that have trapped Pakistan in a cycle of corruption, lawlessness, and widespread social problems. He painted a grim picture of Sindh’s current state, where millions of children remain out of school and the education system is in a state of collapse. Basic public services are lacking, and the general population continues to suffer from neglect and misgovernance.
Looking ahead, Hafiz Naeemur Rehman announced that Jamaat-e-Islami plans to launch the “Badlo Nizam Movement” (Change the System Movement) after Eidul Fitr, aiming to bring about genuine reform through the establishment of a just and equitable system. He also revealed upcoming initiatives focused on youth empowerment, including free IT training courses and the “Bano Qabil Program,” which will soon be rolled out in Larkana and Sukkur. These efforts are designed to equip young people with skills and opportunities to contribute positively to society and help drive the country’s progress.
