Chief of Jamaat e Islami, Senator Sirajul Haq, has stressed upon the government to implement the FATA reforms suggested by the Sartaj Aziz committee, without further delay as it had no other option in this regard. He was talking to JI workers and media persons at the Lahore airport before his departure for London on a 12-day visit on Tuesday.
Sirajul Haq said that the abolition of the tyrannical FCR and FATA's merger with the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, could not be delayed further. He said if the government tried to thrust any other illogical solution, the FATA people would not accept that. He said that it was the government's responsibility to ensure the passage of the Bill for FATA's merger by the assembly before December 31.
The JI chief said that the rulers had given nothing to the masses except poverty, illiteracy, unemployment and lawlessness. Educated young men with degrees in their hands were searching for jobs but in vain. Agriculture in the country was on the decline due to the wrong policies of the rulers. India was building dams on Pakistan's rivers to divert their water to its own land but the Pakistani rulers were always keen to please New Delhi in every possible manner.
Sirajul Haq said that as long as corrupt people remained in power in the country, the fate of the nation could not be changed. Therefore, the masses would have to rise against the corrupt ruling elite and elect honest and competent leadership. It may be mention here that Sirajul Haq, left for London on a 12-day visit primarily meant for preaching and to streamline organizational affairs of the JI.
He will also address the Pakistani community in London. He is scheduled to return home on January six. Deputy Secretary General, JI, Muhammad Asghar, is accompanying the JI chief. Meanwhile before his departure, the JI chief nominated Liaqat Baloch as acting JI chief in his absence abroad. Liaqat Baloch took oath of his interim responsibilities at a simple ceremony held at Mansoora.
