JI urges govt to push for resolution of Kashmir dispute
LAHORE: Chief of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Hafiz Naeem Ur Rehman has said the recent war between Pakistan and India has brought the Kashmir issue back into global focus, urging the Government of Pakistan to seize the moment and push for a resolution of the dispute as per UN resolutions. Speaking at 'Youm-e-Tashakur' (Thanksgiving Day) rallies organized by Jamaat-e-Islami Azad Kashmir in Abbaspur, Hajeera, Dwarandi, and Battal sectors, Rehman emphasized that neither the Kashmiri people nor the people of Pakistan would accept any compromise short of the right to self-determination. 'Without resolving the Kashmir dispute, peace in the region is impossible,' he declared. The JI chief called on the government to ensure the safety of civilians living along the Line of Control (LoC) and to provide both men and women with the necessary training to face wartime conditions. He reiterated that every drop of blood shed by innocent civilians and martyrs during India's recent aggression would be avenged. 'Without a just resolution to the Kashmir issue, any form of trade or normalization with India is unacceptable,' he said. Copyright Business Recorder, 2025

Indian hostilities: JI chief urges govt to convene APC
LAHORE: Chief of Jamaat-e-Islami Hafiz Naeem Ur Rehman on Tuesday urged the government to convene an All Parties Conference (APC) in response to Indian hostilities, saying that his party would take the initiative if the government fails to act. Talking to reporters at Mansoora, Rehman criticized the mainstream ruling and opposition parties for not condemning US on its support to Israeli hostilities in Gaza. 'PML-N, PPP, and PTI shy away from condemning Washington. They are locked in a competition to win America's blessings,' he remarked. He said Nawaz Sharif is not speaking against India and Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari is busy courting the United States. Rehman slammed the government for approving massive salary increases for ministers via presidential ordinances ahead of the upcoming budget. 'The salaried class, small farmers, and common citizens are being squeezed to reward already privileged elite. Despite the government's claims of economic improvement, the public remains unaffected,' he said. Government, he said, should grant tax exemptions on monthly salaries of up to Rs120,000.
