Country has become joke in the world due to visionless rulers: Sirajul Haq

PESHAWAR, Dec 04 (SABAH):  Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Emir Sirajul Haq has said the lawlessness and corruption plagued the society as the country has become joke in the world due to visionless rulers.

The Sialkot incident, Sirajul Haq said while addressing a condolence reference in Peshawar on Saturday, was shocking and shameful and it broke the hearts of every patriotic citizen.

Reiterating call for taking strict action against the culprits, he also reminded the rulers their responsibility of ensuing governance and law and order. “The country is without vigilant governance for decades but the PTI’s three years rule is even more distressing.”

The government, Sirajul Haq said, must ensure protection of every person living in Pakistan and ensure compliance of law and order. He added the government overall failed to perform in different fields from economy to health, education and accountability.

Sirajul Haq said the dream to transform into an Islamic welfare society was yet to be materialized. He said the rulers were main hurdles behind the fulfilment of the objective for what the millions of Muslims of Sub-continent rendered sacrifices under the leadership of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah (R.A). The ruling elite comprising feudal, corrupt capitalists captured the resources of the country for decades, having nothing to do with the miseries of people. He said the PTI, the PML-N and the PPP failed to perform and they served self-interests during their rule over country.

The people needed a peaceful democratic struggle to transform Pakistan into a welfare Islamic state, he said. The interest-based financial and banking systems plagued the national economy, he said. The corruption was unchecked as the PTI failed to fulfill its promise to introduce powerful accountability drive. He demanded the government introduce model of Islamic economy to put the country on track.
