Sirajul Haq declares incumbent govt as worst in the country’s political history

GUJRANWALA, Feb 18 (SABAH):Jamaat-e-Islami Emir Sirajul Haq has declared the incumbent government as worst in the country’s political history.

The prime minister must tell the nation the performance of his government in three and half years instead of making announcements during public meetings, he said while addressing Gujranwala sit-in on Friday.

It was the third protest demonstration of the JI’s ongoing 101 sit-ins movement against skyrocketing inflation, unemployment, corruption and bad-governance. The JI workers in over 15 cities including Lahore also recorded agitation against sharp rise in fuel prices. The Lahore protest was held in front of the JI headquarters Mansoora.

Siraj, while addressing gathering in Gujranwala, said the prime minister promised to provide 10 million jobs but the government instead rendered millions jobless. The PM, he added, promised to build homes but made people homeless. He said the economic policies of the country were being made on the dictation of the IMF.

The recent massive hike in fuel prices, he said, was also announced on the order of the global lender as the prime minister just signed the decree. He said the rupee devaluation was never seen in the history like it was witnessed during the PTI regime. He said the government failed to end corruption.

The prime minister, he said, did nothing against those whose names were mentioned in Panama Leaks and Pandora Papers as the people were sitting around him. He said the prime minister himself admitted the presence of mafias but his government failed to act against them.

He held the PML-N and the PPP equally responsible for the plight of the public and said the three parties were basically sides of the same coin. The present and formers rulers, he said, deceived the masses by making lies. He said the JI was the only party which could put the country on track. He said the JI would hold the final march towards Islamabad if the people were not provided relief.
