Amir Siddique, the mosque’s deputy chief cleric, issued this threat while speaking to around 200 seminary students who gathered outside the mosque to hold a protest.
The students shouted slogans against the US and President Pervez Musharraf. The police ringed the venue and the protest broke up peacefully. “The government needs to reconstruct Jamia Hafsa and reopen Jamia Faridai immediately otherwise we will do it on our own,” said Siddique.
He said protest would continue in front of Lal Masjid until their demands were met. He also demanded release of Maulna Abdul Aziz and unconditional withdrawal of all terrorism cases against him.
He alleged that the government was insincere to resolve the problems created by demolition of Jamia Hafsa and closure of Jamia Fareedia.
