Jamaat-e-Islami Chief Senator Sirajul Haq has said that the present government has acquired nine billion dollars as loan during the last three years and it must explain to the nation where and how the huge amount has been spent. He was speaking at a reception hosted in his honour by the JI Lahore chapter in Model Town the other day.
He said the masses were deprived of basic facilities of education, health and employment. Most of the projects announced by the ruling party during its election campaign have not been initiated so far while those formally inaugurated are also incomplete.
The JI chief said the country is in the hands of a few economic terrorists who are sucking the blood of general public. A few families belonging to different political parties are protecting each others' corruption. The NAB is patronising them and the courts are also not ready to decide any case due to insufficient evidences. He said this is a big joke with the masses in the name of democracy.
Haq stressed those who are hit by the Articles 62 and 63 of the Constitution should be barred from contesting elections. He said the criminals and plunderers had taken refuge in the political parties with the sole aim to make maximum money through every possible means. He said most of the leaders sitting in opposition were more afraid of accountability than the ruling party as they did not want accountability at all. He said had the affairs of the ruling elite been neat and clean, they would not have to seek the help of Qatar's prince. Speaking on the occasion, JI Secretary General Liaqat Baloch said that weak governance affected civil-military relations. He said only the JI could free the masses from the clutches of plunderers.
