Summary JI chief Syed Munawar Hassan had called the slain TTP chief Hakimullah a ‘martyr.’
KARACHI (Online) - Sindh Assembly on Monday passed a resolution against the controversial remarks made by chief of Jamaat-e-Islami Syed Munawar Hassan.
Various political parties including the PML-N, PPP MQM and Functional League presented the resolution in the Assembly.
“Anyone who does not condemn this statement is not a true Pakistani,” said PPP MPA Sharmila Faruqi in a statement to the media.
Hassan had called the slain Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan chief Hakimullah a ‘martyr.’
Moreover, in a recent TV programme the JI chief had reportedly said that if an American who died on the battlefield was not a martyr, then his backers were also not martyrs because they were chasing the same goal. This was implicitly directed towards the Pakistan Army.
