Jamaat-e-Islami Chief Senator Sirajul Haq has claimed that the government and the Pakistan People's Party have joined hands against the National Accountability Bureau to hide corruption of their parties by clipping its powers. The party boss, often critical of the government, addressing a press conference at Mansoora on Saturday after doing the same at a party central workshop for party workers, too gave a stark warning, "If those plundering public money don't mend their ways by returning the plundered wealth and seeking an apology from the nation, the people will chase them ever where."
On his buzzword "corruption", he claimed that his party had a list of the corrupt people and would soon submit it to the National Assembly and the Supreme Court. He went on to say the constitution made it obligatory for the state to provide education, health and jobs but the government was misappropriating the public money and transferring it to their bank accounts abroad.
He said that instead of proceeding against this "corruption mafia" and recovering the looted money from them, the bureau was bargaining with them. He also talked about the bureau chairman being appointed with the consent of the premier and that of the opposition leader in the National Assembly, which in fact was the best way to hide corruption of the major parties instead of checking corruption. "The nation knows how innocent the premier and the opposition leader are," he added.
