'Now, ceasefire will be on our terms', says Hamir Mir

2025-05-08

[GEO.TV] In a post on X, senior journalist Hamid Mir said that India initiated the water aggression against Pakistan and also initiated the targeting of the civilian population.

"It is not possible for India to attack whenever it wants and resort to a ceasefire whenever it wants. Now, the ceasefire will be on our terms. The ceasefire should be made conditional to the restoration of the Indus Waters Treaty."

JUI-F announces rally in Lahore to express solidarity with Gaza

Making no difference whatsoever, but at least it gets them out in the healthy fresh air and sunshine.

...Assembly of Islamic Clergy, or JUI, is a Pak Deobandi (Hanafi) political party. There are two main branches, one led by Maulana Fazlur Rahman, and one that was led by Maulana Samiul Haq. Fazl is active in Pak politix and Sami spent more time running his madrassah until his secretary rubbed him out in a jealous rage. Both branches sponsor branches of the Taliban, though with plausible deniability...

...Deobandi holy man, known as Mullah Diesel during the war against the Soviets, his sympathies for the Taliban have never been tempered by honesty. Fazl seldom misses a meal and is now so large he has his own gravitational pull...
expressed serious concerns over the situation in Paleostine and announced a protest rally at Minar-e-Pakistain in Lahore to show their solidarity with the people of Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Addressing a joint presser flanked by Jamaat-e-Islami
...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores...
(JI) Emir Hafiz Naeemur Rehman, Fazl said: ''The [current] situation in Paleostine is a matter of deep concern for the entire Moslem Ummah.''

He invited the religious parties and the people to attend the proposed rally at the Minar-e-Pakistain.

Lambasting the rulers, the JUI-F chief said that those who are in power have failed to fulfil their responsibilities towards Gaza. He added that the JUI-F will soon launch a countrywide awareness campaign.

(TTP) intends to assassinate him.

The Express Tribune newspaper reported on Monday, February 17 that the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa police issued a security advisory to Maulana Fazlur Rehman, urging him to enhance his security measures and limit his movements.

According to the report, "Sources informed the police that the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) intend to target Maulana Fazlur Rehman due to his involvement in religious and political activities."

Pak media, citing security sources, reported that the Taliban has assigned the task of assassinating this political and religious figure to "armed hitmen," who are planning to carry out the attack covertly.

In the police security advisory to Maulana Fazlur Rehman, it is stated that "In light of the recent terrorist incidents targeting politicians in the Bajaur tribal region, and the threats directed towards you, it is advised that you increase your security at your residence and limit your movements."

Ismail Ghori, the front man for Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam, also responded to this warning, stating that the party’s security guard is capable of protecting Maulana Fazlur Rehman and urging the police to ensure security instead of creating fear.

It is noteworthy that this religious leader was also targeted in an liquidation attempt last year, from which he narrowly escaped.

PM Shehbaz commends Dr Zakir Naik for promoting Islam worldwide

2024-10-03

[GEO.TV] Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday lauded eminent scholar Dr Zakir Naik’s exceptional efforts in spreading the true teachings of the Holy Quran and Hadith, besides promoting Islamic values worldwide.

The prime minister warmly welcomed Dr Naik, expressing his admiration for his scholarly work.

He said the entire Ummah was proud of him for projecting the real image of Islam across the world. It was heartening to note that a vast majority of youth listened to his lectures.

PM Shehbaz said that he had personally benefited from the eminent scholar's lectures, enriching himself with the valuable teachings of Islam.

He said that the people of Pakistan fully admired Dr Naik's great personality and were happy about his presence in the country.

The premier noted that Dr Naik was in good health and added that he was happy to know that his (the scholar) son was also following his footsteps and serving Islam.

He also recalled his past meeting with Dr Zakir in 2006.

The scholar, in his remarks, said that Pakistan was the only country in the world which was founded on Islamic principles.

He said that Islam was the religion which offered comprehensive guidance to the entire humanity encompassing every aspect of their lives.

He reiterated his commitment to continuing efforts to spread the message of Islam globally, saying: “The success lies in following the Islamic teachings”.

Recalling that he had last visited Pakistan in 1991, he said he still had fond memories of that tour. He added that he would also visit Karachi and Lahore.

Prior to his meeting with premier, the Islamic scholar met National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq at the Parliament House and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman at his residence in Islamabad a day ago.

The renowned religious scholar along with his son Shaikh Fariq Naik had arrived in Pakistan at the invitation of the government two days ago and will hold public gatherings in multiple cities.

As per the schedule shared by Dr Naik, he will address public talks in Karachi on October 5 and 6, followed by those in Lahore set to take place on October 12 and 13.

Meanwhile, the scholar will address public gatherings in Islamabad on October 19 and 20.

Islamic Emirate Announces Arrests of ISIS-K Members

2024-10-01

[ToloNews] Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, announced the arrests of perpetrators behind the recent attacks in Kabul and Bamyan.

Mujahid, in a statement, said that these attacks were carried out by individuals affiliated with the ISIS-Khorasan branch, and they had received training in Mastung, Balochistan.

The spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate said: "The special units and Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate have arrested important members of the insurgent group who had attacked the employees of the Directorate of Supervision and Prosecution of Decrees and Orders, and were also involved in several other attacks in Kabul and the attack on foreign tourists in Bamyan province."

On May 17th, an armed attack targeted civilians and foreign nationals in Bamyan, resulting in the death of six people, including three Spanish citizens and three civilians, and injuring seven others, including three locals and four foreign nationals.

Furthermore, on September 2nd, a suicide bomber attacked the employees of the Directorate of Supervision and Prosecution of Decrees and Orders, killing six people and injuring thirteen others.

Zabihullah Mujahid also added that from the hideout of the Kabul attack planner, including both light and heavy military equipment, a Tajikistani national was arrested, who intended to carry out a suicide attack.

Mujahid stressed that after conducting these operations, the leaders and remaining members of the ISIS-Khorasan branch, with the assistance of some intelligence agencies, have been transferred to Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

"It is evident that 95 percent of the attacks that take place in Afghanistan are planned in Pakistan, and those crimes are then carried out in Afghanistan," said Aziz Stanekzai, a military analyst.

"It is the responsibility of neighboring countries not to allow terrorist groups to destabilize both Afghanistan and other trans-regional countries. In this regard, there needs to be an international consensus, especially in the fight against terrorism," said Zalmai Afghan Yar, another military analyst.

The spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate further mentioned that ISIS, using new centers in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, conducts attacks in Afghanistan and other countries, targeting religious, political, and clerical figures.

Khaama Press confuses the issue:

Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid stated in a press release that, during a series of operations in Kabul and Nangarhar, those responsible for attacks on Afghanistan judiciary employees and foreign tourists in Bamiyan were apprehended.

Mujahid further explained that investigations revealed that the attackers targeting employees of the “Prosecution and Monitoring of Orders” directorate had entered Afghanistan from a training camp of ISIS-Khorasan in Mastung, Balochistan.

He added that in separate operations in Kabul and Faryab, two ISIS members were killed, and several others were arrested.

, has refused to support the government's proposal to extend judges' tenure or increase their retirement age, leaving the government-proposed constitutional amendment package hanging in the balance.

This development has created a major hurdle for the ruling coalition, which has been scrambling to secure enough support to push the amendments aimed at making major changes to Pakistain's judicial and parliamentary systems through parliament.

According to sources, while opposition parties, including the Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf

(PTI), along with some government allies, have given conditional backing for the formation of a constitutional court, they remain divided on the issue of judges' extension.

The development came after a meeting of special parliamentary committee, held to discuss the package, ended without a consensus, despite several rounds of consultations.

for 'legitimising' the ruling regime following the latter's major shift in his stance on the coalition government amid parliamentary collaboration with the former ruling party.

"We never needed [Maulana Fazl] support, neither in the past nor today." Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government spokesperson Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif said while speaking on Geo News programme 'Naya Pakistain'.

The PTI leader's statement came as JUI-F chief Maulana Fazl seemingly lowered his rhetoric against the PML-N-led coalition government which he accused of coming to power via "rigged" February 8 general elections.

Speaking in the National Assembly on Wednesday, the JUI-F chief referred to the alleged manipulation in the election results saying whether the present parliament was a product of "Form 45 or 47", they had to accept and use it to address all the national issues.

Fazl also urged both the government and the opposition to confront the challenge of terrorism, saying parliament is the supreme institution.

The religio-political party and the PTI had reached a consensus on cooperation in the National Assembly and the Senate in August.

Both the parties, who have traditionally been arch-rivals, have held multiple interactions since the February 8 polls owing to their mutual concerns regarding alleged election result manipulation and irregularities in the polls.

The president along with Minister for Interior Senator Mohsin Naqvi arrived at Fazl's residence in the federal capital.

The meeting was also attended by JUI-F leaders including Maulana Abdul Ghafoor, Maulana Asad Mehmood, Aslam Ghauri and Engineer Ziaur Rehman.

Both leaders held detailed deliberation on potential key legislation likely to be tabled in the joint sitting.
