LAHORE: Emir Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Sirajul Haq has asked Prime Minister Imran Khan to inform the people about performance of PTI government instead of unleashing verbal attacks on political opponents.
He said that the language being used by the government and main opposition
side could not be allowed in any civilized society.
Talking to members of Islami Jamiat Talba (IJT) Majlise Shura at Mansoorah
on Saturday, Sirajul Haq also demanded the government lift ban on student
unions. He said the PTI government destroyed the education sector along with
other sectors in three and half years. He said the PTI failed to provide
equal education system to the country.
The door of education, he said, was almost closed for poor children due to
massive increase in fee and increase in poverty ratio. The past governments,
he said, were equally responsible to the plight of masses.
JI naib emir Rashid Naseem and IJT Nazim-e-Aaala Shakeel Ahmed were also
present on occasion.
Sirajul Haq said the prime minister had openly violated the Election
Commission rules by holding a public meeting in Lower Dir amid the local
government elections in KPK. The prime minister, he said, on one side cited
examples of rule of law in the west but on the other side he (PM) himself
was violating the country’s constitution.
He said the laws were only effective against the poor while rich and
powerful were always defied them. The PTI slogan to introduce across the
board accountability and bringing powerful under the law proved pack of
lies, he said, adding the present government was the protector of status
quo.
Reiterating his demand for the fresh poll in the elections, the JI chief
said the country could not go ahead by changing only the faces. The people
should stand for their right which the ruling elite never bothered to
provide them, he said.
Sirajul Haq said the JI was struggling for bringing real change and the
welfare of the people was epicenter of its efforts. The JI’s 101 sit-in
movement, he said, will continue until the achievement of its objective to
transform Pakistan into real welfare Islamic state.
