Criticism
Jamiat has been widely criticized by many landlords, secularists, regionists, ethnic parties and military supported parties in Pakistan . Its stronghold in Karachi and Lahore educational institutes has led to many violent outbursts. One of the accusations made of Jamiat is that IJT portrays themselves as a student foundation but is mostly political directed by Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), one of dominant parties in Pakistan. Jamiat (IJT) and Jamat (JI) are two separate organizations and have disagreed on many occasions of political upheaval in Pakistan. The similar objective and the close ideology because of Maulana Mawdudi, Jamiat seems to be a student organization of Jamat e islami. The point of difference between both the parties are clear, and same ideology but difference in methods and policies clearly show that both parties are not linked to each another. Jamiat (IJT) is also criticised for spreading their eye-opening and counter-influencing literature against the west and secularism. Their slogans "Sabz hae, Sabz hae, Asia Sabz hae" means "Asia is Green" (Green is said as Islamic identification against Red of socialism) show their negligence to socialism and other non-Islamic ideologies.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“A bad short story or novel or poem leaves one comparatively calm because it does not exist, unless it gets a fake prestige through being mistaken for good work. It is essentially negative, it is something that has not come through. But over bad criticism one has a sense of real calamity.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“The greater the decrease in the social significance of an art form, the sharper the distinction between criticism and enjoyment by the public. The conventional is uncritically enjoyed, and the truly new is criticized with aversion.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“A tailor can adapt to any medium, be it poetry, be it criticism. As a poet, he can mend, and with the scissors of criticism he can divide.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
