Sindh chapters of JI, JUI condemn Indian aggression
KARACHI: Chief Jamaat-e-Islami Sindh, Kashif Saeed Sheikh, and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Sindh Vice Chief, Qari Muhammad Usman, on Wednesday strongly condemned the latest wave of Indian aggression, particularly targeting civilian populations and religious sites under the cover of darkness. Kashif Saeed Sheikh stated that the cowardly enemy once again resorted to attacking mosques and civilian areas, where the name of Allah is proclaimed, exposing India's lowly and cowardly mindset. He praised the Pakistan Army for its befitting response, saying it restored national pride and stood as a symbol of courage and professionalism. He urged the government to call an immediate all-parties conference to foster unity in the face of rising threats and stressed that the entire nation should be prepared with the spirit of jihad under the army's motto of faith, jihad, and piety. Sheikh declared that the liberation of Kashmir — which he termed Pakistan's jugular vein — has become inevitable. He expressed solidarity with the families of martyrs, assuring that their blood would not be shed in vain, and India would be made accountable for each drop. He instructed party workers from Karachi to Kashmore to prepare as national volunteers and directed Alkhidmat Foundation to activate its disaster management units. He also called for the government to introduce compulsory military training through a presidential ordinance, citing examples from countries like Israel and Singapore. Meanwhile, JUI's Qari Muhammad Usman condemned India's targeting of civilian populations as a continuation of its unethical and inhumane legacy of oppression and fear. He termed the attack a violation of international laws and norms, asserting that such cowardly tactics cannot shake Pakistan's national unity. Usman praised the Pakistan Armed Forces for their immediate, robust, and effective response to Indian aggression, highlighting their bravery, skill, and unwavering commitment to the country's defense. He reaffirmed that the entire nation stands firmly with its armed forces like a wall of steel. Expressing deep sorrow over the loss of innocent lives, he offered condolences to the families of the martyrs, prayed for the swift recovery of the injured, and stressed that the whole nation shares their grief. Qari Usman concluded by stating that Pakistan has always emerged with honour and, God willing will continue to do so. He emphasized that no matter how cunning the enemy's plans, the nation's faith, determination, and unity will continue to thwart every scheme. Copyright Business Recorder, 2025

Investment frauds swindle millions of rupees
Listen to article Every year, a large number of people across the country fall prey to fraudulent housing investment schemes, which lure investors with the promise of profits. However, despite the increasing prevalence of such scams, no effective measures have been taken to prevent these unfortunate incidents as a result of which countless naïve locals end up losing their entire life savings. One such local was Professor Dawood, a resident of Lahore, who had invested his savings in a private housing society by paying monthly installments for a plot. However, after paying the installments, he neither received the plot nor any refund from the housing society's management. 'I had to spend 10 years trying to recover my money. I approached the police, FIA, and other authorities, but no one listened to me. Finally, I filed a complaint with NAB Lahore, and after a long wait, I received a partial refund,' recalled Dawood. Dawood's experience is not an isolated incident, as many people approach NAB offices every year, seeking justice and recovery for their lost savings. One such family was that of Muhammad Usman whose late father had invested in a cooperative bank 25 years ago. Unfortunately, his father lost his pension money due to the bank's fraudulent activities. After his father's passing, Usman is still trying to recover the invested amount through all possible means, but to no avail. In today's digital age, investment scams have become increasingly common, with scammers advertising on social media platforms, promising high returns on investments in housing societies, solar panels, and other schemes. According to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), scammers mostly target naive investors, and while previously, complaints involving investments worth Rs100 million were investigated, now this value has increased to Rs500 million. Due to rising inflation and unemployment, people are looking for investment opportunities. But at the same time, scammers are taking advantage of this situation by promising high returns, often targeting retirees looking to invest their pension savings. Most of these scams involve housing societies, through which scammers lure victims with promises of high profits. Recently, it has been observed that scammers have been luring people into investing in plazas in Gulberg, only to flee abroad, leaving investors with complaints and financial losses. The NAB has taken action against large housing societies and illegal investment schemes, recovering funds and providing refunds to the affected individuals. NAB Lahore Director General Ahteram Dar stated that his office has recovered and returned billions of rupees to victims of scams involving large housing societies. 'NAB takes action on complaints received through open courts to provide refunds to those who have lost their investments. While NAB is taking action, scammers are also using modern technology and social media to lure people into their traps. Therefore, people must be cautious and be vigilant when investing in any scheme,' implored Dar.
