Chief of Jamaat-e-Islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq, has expressed his gratitude to the people for their full participation in the JI Train March against corruption but added that the JI drive against the evil was not over as yet.
According to media cell of Jamaat-e-Islami Lahore while addressing a press conference at Upper Dir on Saturday, he said that the Corruption Free Pakistan movement would continue until each and every plunderer was hauled up, their ill gotten wealth recovered and they were ousted from the corridors of power and sent behind the bars. Sirajul Haq appealed to the forces against status quo to unite and announce Jihad against corruption and support the JI in its drive.
He said that corruption was present not only in the corridors of power but had crept all over the society. Corruption kings were sitting in the establishment and the bureaucracy who had taken the entire system as hostage. He urged political and religious parties to throw out the black sheep from their ranks and bring forth honest and dedicated leadership. He also urged the general public to boycott all those who had been plundering public money with both hands.
Sirajul Haq said that the Pakistanis working abroad were remitting around 18 billion rupees annually but the corrupt ruling elite looted this amount and sent it back to the foreign countries. He said he had repeatedly asked the government and the opposition to bring forth agreed ToR for the judicial commission so that the issue of Panama leaks could be taken to its logical end. He said he would address a big public meeting at Chitral in connection with the drive against corruption and present his next plan to the youth Jirga at Islamabad on May 30.
