LAHORE: Chief of Jamaat-e-Islami Senator Sirajul Haq has highlighted the need to change the system, saying the country could not be put on the path of development with the same faces in power again and again. Talking to journalists after inaugurating "Aagosh Centre" here on Saturday, he said it remained never a difficult task to send the governments packing in Pakistan but the challenging task was the revamping of the entire system. The JI, he added, was only struggling for the latter.

The JI charity Al-Khidmat Foundation established the centre to provide free shelter, food and education facilities to orphan students of the area. The foundation has already running the project in different cities of the country. "The JI wants to transform Pakistan into an Islamic welfare state," said Senator Siraj, adding in coming days the masses would witness the real change and get rid of the mafias who looted the country for decades.

The JI chief said that PTI government badly failed to fulfill its promises and virtually handed over the country to international lending agencies.
