Former Pakistani Senator Mushtaq Ahmad has announced his resignation from Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), stating his intention to work independently for human rights, democracy, and constitutional freedoms. Mushtaq, who recently returned to Pakistan after being detained by Israeli authorities during the Global Sea Flotilla mission, said his resignation was submitted on September 19 while aboard the flotilla, though the party has yet to formally accept it. Known for his principled stance within JI, he described the decision as deeply emotional but necessary to create his own political space. Mushtaq clarified that he harbors no personal conflict with party leaders, including JI chief Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman. He announced plans to launch a mass movement, forming 100,000 “Palestine Committees” across Pakistan to unite citizens for Palestinian justice. Criticizing delayed global action on Gaza, he hailed Hamas’s steadfast struggle as key to current developments.
