Milli Muslim League (MML), political outfit of Jamaat-ud-Dawa, has announced plans for the creation of an Islamic State in Pakistan and clearly stated that the Mumbai attack master mind Hafiz Saeed will play a major role in the party.
"We declare our [platform] to be for the change in the ideology of Pakistan. We plan to make Pakistan a real Islamic state. [Because of] a nefarious plan, the country has been put on the road to secularism and liberalism," party president Saifullah Khalid said in Islamabad recently, the Washington Times reports.
Declaring war on liberal elements in Pakistani society, MML leaders organised various public rallies in major cities on the day the country marked its 70th Independence Day.
Khalid also made it clear that Saeed will also play a role in Pakistan politics and his designation by US as a global terrorist would be no bar to a top job in the party.
Khalid said, "What role he will play in the Milli Muslim League or in Pakistan's ongoing politics will be seen after Allah ensures his release. Once he is released, "we will meet him and ask him what role he would like to play. He is the leader of Pakistan. (ANI)
