Days of the bat, lion & arrow were numbered & people of KP would this time choose scale: Sirajul Haq

PESHAWAR, Dec 17 (SABAH): Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Emir Sirajul Haq has said that Sunday will be proved a day of goodbye for the PTI in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Sirajul Haq was addressing a public gathering in Peshawar on Friday as the local government elections are going to be held in 17 districts of the province on December 19 (Sunday). The JI chief addressed the people in provincial capital’s Wahid Ghari and Maqsood Abad area and appealed the masses to vote for the JI candidates to bring the real change in the province.

Sirajul Haq announced the JI will hold the sit-in at the same polling station if the rigging held there, criticizing the use of government machinery in the polls. He said the days of the bat, lion and arrow (the election symbols of the PTI, the PML-N and the PPP) were numbered and people of the KP would this time choose scale (the election symbol of the JI) to transform Pakistan into an Islamic welfare state.

The masses, Sirajul Haq said, had given opportunity to the three parties but they badly failed to deliver. Providing another opportunity to the tested faces and parties, he added, would never end the miseries of the masses. He said the ruling elite was least concerned about the problems of the common man. The PTI, he said, had been ruling over the KP for more than eight years but it failed to bring any change. He said the PTI also proved itself the status quo party. He said the prime minister made tall claims to transform Pakistan into Madina-like-state but all his promises proved pack of lies. He said this government gifted the people with inflation and unemployment. He said the masses were fed up from the ruling elite and ready for taking avenge from the waderas and feudal lords in the polls.

He appealed to the people to choose pious and competent leadership for the country in elections. He said Pakistan needed Quran and Sunnah based system to get the track to development.
