Deputy chief of the Jamaat-e-Islami, and head of the JI's election wing, Mian Muhammad Aslam, has said that under the present electoral system, a change in the country was not possible even after one hundred years. While addressing the participants of the JI central workshop at Mansoora, he said that as long as the common man was no sure about a change through ballot, the nation's confidence in the electoral system could not be restored.
Mian Muhammad Aslam said that those who returned to the assemblies after spending billions would serve their personal ends and not the masses and the country. He said that an honest and a dedicated leadership could come into the fore only through fair, free and transparent elections. He said that in the prevailing election system, only billionaires could contest elections and a man of limited means could not even dream of that.
He said that all those who plundered the public money and transferred that to banks abroad, had their files with the NAB and other agencies but they were not being touched. He said if the situation remained the same, the poor would be constrained to besiege the palaces and posh houses of the rulers. JI deputy chief Rashid Naseem, addressing the gathering, said that the PPP and the PML (N) had been in power for about five decades. He said that while there was a big change in the life of the members of these parties during these years, the plight of the masses had remained the same.
