The Milli Yakjehti Council (MYC) Pakistan, a coalition of religious and political parties, has firmly rejected the two-state solution for Palestine and the Abraham Accords, urging the government to clarify its official position on both issues.
The council also voiced serious concerns over the country's deteriorating security and economic conditions, as well as rising social injustice during a consultative meeting of MYC leadership hosted by Islami Tehreek Pakistan.
Religious scholars and political leaders from various parties participated in the high-level session, chaired by MYC President Sahibzada Abu Al-Khair Muhammad Zubair. JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman attended the event as the chief guest.
In his keynote address, Fazl said that Pakistani religious scholars have always rejected armed struggle and militancy. He alleged that external pressures have led to attempts to ban religious seminaries in the country.
Fazl pointed out that despite military operations in Balochistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P), the government has failed to establish its writ. "Armed groups roam the streets freely, day and night," he said.
He attributed the prevailing instability and chaos to the government's incompetence. He also expressed concern over Pakistan's gradual withdrawal from the Kashmir issue.
In his address, Zubair criticised Pakistan's stance on Palestine. He said that the government, like Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, wants a Nobel Prize for US President Donald Trump. "Israel is weaponising hunger against Palestinians," Zubair stated.
Islami Tehreek Pakistan head Allama Sajid Naqvi called for coordinated action plans that would send a clear message to the imperialist powers behind the war in Gaza. "While there have been public protests across Pakistan, there has been no significant diplomatic pressure from our government," he noted.
