Ameer, Jamaat-e-Islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq, has said the rulers were overjoyed over the approval of IMF loan on most humiliating terms and heavy interest rate, but this won't help improve the country's economy. The country's economy could improve only by dispensing with the IMF and the World Bank and marching towards self-reliance, he said while addressing a big Friday congregation at the Mansoora mosque.
Sirajul Haq said the founding fathers had established Pakistan as a mosque but unfortunately, that mosque could not get an Imam so far. "The country's polity was based on western democracy; its economy was interest-based while the education system conceived by Lord Macaulay was still in vogue in the country. For the last 68 years, the country had been in the hands of political artists and actors due to which the country and the nation had lost their destination. As for the government, nobody knew its intentions," he remarked. The JI chief said despite having accepted Islam as the state religion and Allah Almighty as the sole Sovereign, the rulers were acting according to their free will, and had reduced themselves to slaves of the aliens. As for the masses, they were there only to pay taxes and utilities bills, he added.
Sirajul Haq said the bloodletting in Karachi was continuing only due to the patronage of the criminals by the federal and the provincial governments and the political figures. Some people who should have been in jail were being honoured by the rulers. "Had the culprits behind the killings on 12th of May and the Baldia Town factory been hauled up, the tragedy of the 13th of May could not have occurred."
He said around 24,000 peaceful citizens of Karachi including dozens of security personnel, had been gunned down in the port city. The JI chief said according to the security institutions, the attackers on the Ismailia community bus were highly trained and they wanted to kill maximum number of people. But despite such a big act of terrorism, the rulers were not ready to take any step on their own but were looking up to the US.
Sirajul Haq reiterated that in Karachi, thousands of people had been recruited in government departments, especially the police, on political grounds due to which the police force had failed to curb crimes. He said JI was being blamed for the women voters' abstaining from voting in PK 95. He asked the critics to explain who had stopped the women from voting in the 2008 elections which the JI had boycotted while the PPP, the ANP, the PML and other political parties had participated. He urged the masses to support the JI for steering the country out of the present crisis, and solving the problems facing the country and the nation. He said the JI was striving for the Nizam-e-Mustafa because unless and until, an honest and dedicated leadership came forward, the problems of the country could not be resolved.
