RAWLA KOT: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Siraj-ul-Haq announced on Monday an award for Rs 1 billion for anyone who arrests Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Speaking in solidarity with Kashmiri leader, Syed Salahuddin, Siraj said, “You [Modi] and your agents cannot arrest Salahuddin. You say whoever arrests him will be rewarded with Rs500 million. I also say that whoever arrests Modi we will give him Rs1 billion.”
Addressing a rally in Azad Kashmir’s Rawalakot area, Siraj said Kashmir was a part of Pakistan and anyone who spoke of friendship with India without resolution of the Kashmir issue was a traitor.
“Those who desire friendship with India can go to Mumbai,” he said. “Our agenda for friendship with India is Kashmir’s independence.” The JI chief argued that a country could not prosper without an able leadership. “Either our leaders our blind, deaf and dumb or are in collusion with India,” he said.
He said Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Geelani spent his entire life in jails just because of his love for Pakistan, adding that Kashmiris gave many sacrifices for Pakistan but because of inept leadership, independence of Kashmir has not become possible.
The rulers should have a clear policy towards Kashmir, he added. (PTI)
