By terming a terrorist a martyr, the JI chief has insulted the sacrifices made by the Pakistan Army, read a statement by the Inter Services Public relations (ISPR).
ISPR spokesperson Asim Bajwa tweeted saying:
Strong condemnation of his views from majority leaves no doubt ,all of us are clear on what state of Pakistan is &it’s enemies-2/5

Hasan had said that Hakimullah Mehsud, who had died in a US drone strike, was a martyr.
“Syed Munawar Hassan has tried to invent a logic based on his political convenience. Strong condemnation of his views from an overwhelming majority leaves no doubt in any one's mind that all of us are very clear on what the state of Pakistan is and who are its enemies,” the ISPR press release stated.
“Sacrifices of our shuhada and their families need no endorsement from Syed Munawar Hassan and such misguided and self-serving statements deserve no comments,” the statement further read.
The ISPR statement said that the families of martyred army personnel and people who had lost their loved ones in the terrorist attacks demanded an “unconditional apology” from JI chief.
Such a statement coming from the JI chief, a party founded by Maulana Maududi, who is respected and revered for his services to Islam is both painful and unfortunate, the statement read.
coming from Ameer of JI, a party founded by Maulana Maududi, respected and revered for his services to Islam is painful and unfortunate-3/5
