Chief of Jamat-e-Islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq, has said that the challenge of terrorism could not be met only by force as poverty, unemployment and other problems being faced by the common man must be resolved to wipe it out. In a message on the advent of the holy month of Ramazan, he said that Pakistan was facing serious internal and foreign challenges. He said the general public was fed up with the internal battles of the elite class and wanted the solution of its problems. The youth was facing unemployment and was worried about their future.
The JI chief said that the rulers must give high priority to the youth and warned that if necessary resources were not allocated for the youth and respectable means of earnings were not created for them, the country would be heading towards anarchy. Sirajul Haq said that the country's banks were granting heavy loans to unscrupulous people who swallowed this money on different excuses and with impunity. The need of the hour was that interest free loans be given to the educated, skilled and semi skilled youth enabling them to stand on their own feet, and added that the problem of unemployment could not be solved merely by providing government jobs. He further said that the industrial development in the country had stopped due to energy crisis which was also causing load shedding, adding to the difficulties of the masses.
