Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Sindh Ameer Kashif Saeed Sheikh on Tuesday expressed deep concern over the resurgence of terrorism and the issue of missing persons, highlighting the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister’s statement that terrorism in the province is “self-created” and condemning the 28th constitutional amendment as “a step towards dictatorship.”
Addressing a meeting of party officials, Sheikh stressed that no individual or institution can be more powerful than the state. He termed the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister’s remarks, stating that the province has been “turned into a laboratory,” as a matter of grave concern for the federal government and state institutions.
Sheikh warned that mistreatment of smaller provinces and attempts to seize their natural resources will deepen national divisions. He described the 28th amendment, following the 27th, as a direct assault on regional autonomy and an attempt to “usurp the sovereignty of the provinces,” emphasizing that prosperous provinces are essential for a strong and stable nation.
In response to these challenges, the party is launching its “Badal Do Nizam” (Change the System) movement, aimed at strengthening Pakistan’s ideological and geographical borders and ending what it calls the “oppressive and feudal system.”
A large public gathering at Minar-e-Pakistan is a central component of this campaign. During an online meeting with district leaders from across Sindh, logistical arrangements for the rally, including participant transportation from Karachi to Kashmore, funding, and accommodation, were reviewed.
Addressing a separate convention in Gadap, JI Sindh Deputy General Secretary Maulana Abdul Quddus Ahmadi described the upcoming rally as a “manifestation of the unity of the Ummah.” He stated that JI is a global movement striving to implement the “system of Allah” and promote unity among the global Muslim community.
