Jamaat-e-Islami chief Senator Sirajul Haq on Friday rejected the ICJ for asking Pakistan to stay the hanging of Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav. "The PML-N government's policy on Indian spy case is a fiasco," he said speaking at the Karachi Bar Council (KBC), He further said that the way Raymond Davis, a US undercover agent, was released, the issue of Kulbhushan would also go same way.
"We are not the slaves of ICJ," he said turning down the Indian stance on the Jadhav issue. He said that the government has badly failed to defend the country's case against the Indian spy at ICJ. He said that India's stance on its spy, who confessed killings inside Pakistan, is unacceptable.
"We have to decide and determine our future priorities," he urged. Siraj said that despite abundance of natural resources the country has been made to follow the IMF's economic dictations. He said Pakistan was not short of resources, yet IMF has enslaved it and continued to dictate the nation even on electricity, gas and fuel oil prices fixations. "We cannot develop without rule of law," he asserted, saying that Pakistan's identity is at stake, as provincial-bias grows to fragment the public. He said that there are four (estranged) provinces and not a cohesive Pakistan today.
"Doors of parliament should be open for only those who believe in Pakistan ideology," he said making it clear that his party would not issue tickets to any corrupt person to contest for the next election as JI's contestant. He said that the society cannot exist on gunpoint. He said that the former Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry ignored the bloodshed of May 12, 2007. He said that 54 people lost lives despite the fact that had come out to welcome Justice Chaudhry, but could not have the justice despite a passage of 10 years.
The JI chief also announced they would hold another sit-in protest against the K-Electric on May 24. He said electricity crisis was a national issue, let alone Karachi. He also asked the Sindh government what prevented them from developing the metropolis. He said that the nation cannot grow with class-based unequal social, educational and economic system. On foreign affairs, he warned that Iran and Saudi Arabia would annihilate if collided. He urged Pakistan government to mediate between both hostile Muslim nations to end their bilateral conflicts.
