‘Form-47 mandate' brings about no change: JI chief
LAHORE: Chief Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman has urged state institutions to revisit their conduct of imposing corrupt elements on the people, stating that rulers brought through Form 47 cannot bring meaningful change. Addressing the participants of JI central training workshop at Mansoorah on Thursday, he criticized both the government and opposition parties for engaging in a contest of flattery toward former US President Donald Trump, adding that a key backer of Zionist aggression in Gaza has now been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. Rehman said the PPP no longer represents the public but continues its rule in Sindh due to establishment support. 'All lost seats in Karachi were handed over to the PPP and MQM. Without institutional support, PPP could not have secured the mayor's office in Karachi,' he remarked. He highlighted the long-standing deprivation faced by the people of Sindh under PPP rule, noting that despite an education budget of over Rs 450 billion, education in the province is in ruins. 'More than 10 million children are out of school, and there are fake recruitments in educational institutions,' he said. He also condemned the feudal system in Sindh, saying that criminal elements enjoyed protection from tribal chieftains. 'The Sardari system is a cruel relic. People must rise against it. Community committees should be formed to eradicate social evils and drug abuse,' he said, assuring that JI would support every individual who speaks the truth. Rehman emphasized that unlike family-run political dynasties or sect-based religious parties, JI is a movement free of ethnic, provincial, or sectarian prejudice and is devoted to the establishment of Islamic values. 'In our view, politics is a form of worship. We are uniting people for peace, development, prosperity, and the implementation of Islamic governance,' he said. Questioning the integrity of the current political elite, he asked, 'Should politicians involved in the buying and selling of MNAs and MPAs be considered great leaders?' He added the time has passed when dynastic political parties could fool the people, especially the youth. 'Youth support for JI is rising. We believe the solution to our problems lies not in changing faces but in changing the system.' Commenting on the situation in Gaza, the JI leaders said the United States is continuously arming Israel, which he called a 'rampaging elephant' now expanding its aggression to Syria as well. 'If the rulers of the Muslim world were true representatives of their people, Israel would never have dared to commit such atrocities against the people of Gaza,' he said, urging Muslim nations to bring true leadership to power in their respective countries.

Imran Khan held in 'death cell', claims PTI
Listen to article Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has raised alarm over what it described as 'inhumane' treatment of its incarcerated founder, Imran Khan, claiming he is being held in a 'death cell' under near-total isolation. Addressing a press conference on Thursday, PTI Central Secretary for Information Sheikh Waqas Akram alleged that Khan is confined to solitary detention for 22 hours daily, denied access to newspapers, television, books, and is barred from meeting his legal team and close associates. Akram stated that the conditions amount to psychological torture and a blatant violation of basic human rights. 'Imran Khan is effectively cut off from the world. His fundamental right to meet six designated individuals is being denied, despite explicit court orders, which constitutes contempt of court,' he said. He added that similar restrictions have been imposed on Khan's wife, Bushra Bibi, who is allegedly being denied family visits, while Khan's sister, Aleema Khan, has also been prevented from seeing him. Read More: Imran Khan tells PTI leaders to end rift, focus on movement Calling on the Chief Justice of Pakistan to intervene, Akram urged the judiciary to restore its 'dwindling credibility and independence' in the face of what he termed the executive's open defiance of court rulings. 'The violation of judicial orders is not just an insult to the courts but to the entire justice system,' he remarked. The PTI spokesperson also questioned the recent disqualification of politician Jamshed Dasti, claiming that Article 62(1)(d) of the Constitution has never before been used to unseat public representatives, and alleging that constitutional provisions are now being misapplied for political engineering. Highlighting concerns over the health and treatment of other detained PTI leaders, he pointed to the 'deteriorating condition' of Shah Mehmood Qureshi, the 'systematic violation' of Dr Yasmin Rashid's rights, and the continued imprisonment of Ejaz Chaudhry despite Supreme Court orders granting him bail. On economic matters, Akram criticised the federal government over skyrocketing fuel prices, claiming petrol prices have surged by 82% over the past 15 months. 'During PTI's term, petrol prices rose by Rs51, but the current government scrapped subsidies and pushed the price to Rs220 per litre,' he said.

Addressing the May 9 cases, Akram claimed that the prosecution's position has collapsed following the withdrawal of a key investigating officer and the absence of primary witness Hassan Afzal. He demanded the immediate dismissal of all related cases. Expressing sorrow over the recent floods in Punjab that led to 103 deaths and the destruction of 250 homes, Akram criticised what he described as the government's inept disaster response. 'When the public protests, they are jailed. Yet, officials responsible for this negligence go unpunished,' he remarked. In closing, Akram disclosed that Khan has conveyed directives concerning the upcoming Senate elections in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, delegating authority for awarding Senate tickets to the provincial parliamentary party to prevent horse-trading. However, he clarified that no ticket can be issued without Khan's personal approval. 'PTI remains committed to internal democracy and transparency,' he affirmed.
