LAHORE, Dec. 2; Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Sirajul Haq, has said that the JI would soon begin a big movement for the protection of women’s rights.
Addressing the leaders of the JI women wing at Mansoora on Tuesday, he said he had worked out a charter for the women’s rights as would be presented to the nation soon.
The JI chief said that the women constituted 51 per cent of the country’s population , therefore, the Islamic government would allocate the same ration of the resources for the women welfare. Separate colleges and universities would be established for the women and appointments of lady doctors would be ensured at the hospitals for the female patients. The women folk would be provided interest free loans to start business and for the look after of their children and families, he added.
Sirajul Haq said that the west had deprived the womenfolk of the love and affection of mother and father, brothers and sons in the name of women’s rights. In a very shrewd manner, the western society had been carrying on the exploitation of the women and had also thrust upon them the burden of earning livelihood.
He pointed out that the Quaid e Azam had termed the women as the third big force after sword and the pen. He said that the women in Pakistan were deprived of their rights mainly because the westernized NGOs who talked of women’s rights believed in superficial activities and were least interested in the women’s uplift. He said that t was the JI that had come to the help of thousands of mothers and sisters in Waziristan, the tribal areas and the areas affected by natural calamities.
He impressed upon the JI women wing leaders to make their best efforts for the unity of the nation in the present situation and promote positive ideas in order to save our strength.
JI women leaders Durdana Siddiqi and Samiha Raheel Qazi also addressed the gathering.
