JI blames rulers for rising poverty

22 Dec, 2016

Chief of Jamaat-e-Islami, Sirajul Haq, has said that if the process of accountability was started from 1947 as desired by the rulers, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's turn would not come till the Day of Judgement. According to media cell of Jamaat-e-Islami, while speaking at the Talent Hunt program of the Islami Jamiat Talaba Expo, on Wednesday in federal capital, he said that the Pakistan as envisioned by the Quaid e Azam was not the Pakistan dominated by corrupt, dacoits and cheats.
He said that the rulers had given nothing to the nation except poverty, hunger, unemployment and exploitation. Sirajul said that all state institutions in the country at present are running in losses just because of the corruption of the rulers. He said that if 375 billion dollars of the Pakistanis lying in Swiss banks were transferred to the country, all citizens could be provided free education and health besides employment.
The JI chief said that a public awakening was essential to end the prevailing system of exploitation and injustice. If the masses rejected the political pundits, the politics of the elite would automatically come to an end.
Sirajul Haq reiterated that if the JI got a chance, it would provide universal free education under a uniform education system. The unemployed youth would be given unemployment allowance and old age allowance to senior citizens. Sirajul Haq lauded the role of Islami Jamiat Talaba and its services for the country and nation. He said the IJT had offered huge sacrifices while safeguarding the Pakistan ideology as around 10 thousand IJT workers had embraced martyrdom in Bangladesh during their struggle to save the country.
