OUR STAFF REPORTER LAHORE - People of the provincial metropolis on Monday suffered due to worse traffic jam for three hours on the Ferozpur Road on Icchra due to the 'Ummeed Bano rally of Islami Jamiat-Talba taken out from Punjab University New Campus to Icchra. Long queues of cars, buses, motorbikes and rickshaws were witnessed and people were stuck up in the worse traffic mess. The rally was a part of three day congregation of IJT. The Congregation of IJT was organised in the Punjab University. While addressing the rally Ummeed Bano (Become Hope of Nation) Million March of the IJT, Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Syed Munawar Hasana said that capitalism was dying at the hands of its own protagonists and Islam was fast emerging as super power in the world. He also said that millions of people in the west were on roads to demand switch over to the Islamic financial system after the failure of the western economy. Munawar Hasan said that the western civilization had failed to satisfy its believers and there was unrest and dissatisfaction all around and the people were turning to Islam in search for peace. The leader of the western civilization had failed in its designs even after shedding the blood of millions of Muslims in Iran and Afghanistan. He said that Islam had been the super power fourteen hundred years ago and it could guarantee peace, justice and harmony to mankind even today. The JI chief said that the interests of the US and Pakistan clashed with each and the two could not be friends. He said that the Zardari, Gilani, Kayani troika was shedding the blood of patriots and added that all those who talked of the countrys sovereignty and solidarity were being dubbed as anti- state only to please Washington. The US was fighting the war of Indias supremacy in the region but this was not acceptable to the people. Addressing the participants of the rally, JI Secretary General Liaqat Baloch said that the people all over the world had risen against dictatorial regimes and no body could stop a revolution in this country. The IJT Nazim Syed Abdur Rashid said that the Pakistani rulers were agents of foreign powers and had deprived the masses of the last morsel of food and books. The kin of the rulers were studying in the universities of London and New York while the Pakistani youth were deprived of basic facilities, he said. He demanded Urdu as medium of instruction, a uniform education system and syllabus for the entire country and restoration of students unions as promised by the Prime Minister. Earlier, thousands of students from various educational institutes from the country, participated in IJTs rally with vows to defend the Islamic identity of Pakistan and continue their peaceful struggle to replace the prevailing system of governance for transformation of Pakistan into a modern, welfare Islamic state. The rally that started from University of Punjab culminated at Ichhra Bridge. Students from across Pakistan took part in the rally by carrying flags of IJT and pledged to foil all attempts aimed at converting Pakistan into a secular state on the behest of Western powers and warned rulers that they would continue their struggle for change on the pattern of Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen and other countries where youth have forced monarchs to step down or flee their respective countries.
