Shabab e Milli
Encyclopedia : S : SH : SHA : Shabab e Milli
Shabab e Milli is a youth wing of Jamaat-e-Islami, Pakistan. In 1994, Jamaat decided to disown its previous youth group Pasban, and new group Shabab e Milli was formed. It was expected to replace the much active Pasban, but it remained as a passive youth wing of Jamaat. Most of the energetic youth of Jamaat did not join the Shabab e Milli.It was perhaps Jamaat's less attention on the issue of an active and effective youth group and partly the shock faced by jamaat by its youth wing head, Mohammad Ali Durrani who actually was a closed ally of Pakistani establishment and Army working in Jamaat on special agenda of using the Jamaat's youth for the cause of establishment. It was very lately recognized by Jamaat-e-Islami, leadership though smelled by few from the very beginning. (Pasban's supreme council expelled him from Pasban and Altaf Shakoor was elected its president in 1994. Altaf Shakoor still leads the Pasban). Still most of the people consider Pasban lead by Altaf Shakoor as a youth group of Jamaat-e-Islami due to its issues and close ideological ties.But the fact is that Pasban now is an independent organization. Shabab e Milli has its head quarters at Mansoorah Lahore.
The main issues raised by Shabab e Milli are day to day problems of common man, Islamic & Pakistani values, and corruption .It raise voice on human rights violations in society off and on, but its main function seems to organize Jamaat-e-Islami’s, big programs and to give boost to campaigns.
