Chief of Jamaat-e-Islami, Senator Sirajul Haq, has said that the country was lacking good governance and rule of law as the government was still living in the world of dreams and ideas. While addressing the central leadership of the JI at Mansoora, he said that the plight of the common man remained unchanged while the people in the government were fighting with each other. He said that in the past, there used to be discussion on the system of the government but now new words and phrases were being coined to abuse one another.
He said that those in politics should do politics and not make politics a business. He said that the politics of corruption had weakened the ideological politics in the country and the rules of politics were being trampled upon. He said that in the past, the police raids on the houses of politicians led to the recovery of books but now there were dollars. He said the institutions had been set up for training in money laundering and fake companies and foundations were presenting easy means for the transfer of money abroad. The amnesty scheme was also a scheme of money laundering and the governments was issuing ads for that. He said that the banks had promoted corruption. If a poor man applied for loans to build a house or for the education of children or for small business, he was refused but the known thugs and plunderers were easily granted loans of billions rupees which was never returned.
