Of all the political parties of Pakistan, the
mindset and approach of Jumati Islami has been ambiguous. Jumati Islami has
been to the ready to render unconditional support to military dictators
whenever the latter take over the government. In the time of worst dictatorship
foisted by Ziaulhaq on Pakistan, it were Jumati Islami who had been willing
rendering support to him. Jumati Islami enjoyed the patronage of Zaiulhaq and
received many privileges as well. During the whole reign of his dictatorship it
were Jumati Islami who stood for legitimizing every action of Ziaulhaq and
publicly chanted the slogan: Mardi haq, zaihulaq. JI had also been
active in providing fuel in the shape of men power to American sponsored
Zaiulhaq led Afghan war.
During the days of Musharraf dictatorship, again it was
Jumati Islami and its aides who even gave constitutional cover to Musharraf
acts under the famous 17th constitutional amendment. Every actions
of Musharraf was dully endorsed by them. If we recall the time when during the
elected government of Nawaz Shairf, the Indian prime minster visited Pakistan
both Jumati Islami and JUI reacted and protested against it, but in the
following year when Musharraf visited Agra both the Jumati Islami and JUI
publicly endorsed his act as being a goodwill gesture. Jumati Islami has its
track record of supporting the military taking controls of the civilian
governments in Pakistan and has enjoyed various patronages.
But it took by surprise every sensible man when Jumati Islami
came forward to publicly condemn the bid of Turkish army personnel to take
control of the elected government. Because JI had been supported such acts in
Pakistan. Jumati Islami perhaps thinks that when army unanimously comes to
overthrow the elected govermnet, then it becomes legitimiate (as had been the
case in Pakistan) whereas in case of Turkey it was not a unanimous action and
lacked support of the whole of the army.
Or JI disapproves of military dictatorship for Turkey and support the
same in Pakistan, just the way they favor secularism for India and
Turkey and strongly disapprove the same for Pakistan. A better answer may come
from them.
