Country’s constitutional, political & democratic parliamentary system has become non-functional: Liaqat Baloch  

LAHORE, April 21 (SABAH): Naib Emir Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Liaqat Baloch has said that the country’s constitutional, political and democratic parliamentary system has become non-functional and crippled due to unconstitutional interference of civil-military establishment.

Palestinian leader Dr. Khaled Qaddoumi held meeting with Naib Emir Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Liaqat Baloch. While talking to delegations which came from Karachi, Quetta and Malakand and addressing workers eid millan in Lahore, Liaqat Baloch said that at present, the country is facing political, economic, constitutional, ideological, moral and national unity crisis.

He said that national politics instead of positive development is suffering from commotion and revenge, adding this situation is very dangerous for national security. Due to non-constitutional role of army and civil leadership, there is no confidence between the masses and the state, he said and added the distances of this disappointment are increasing. He said the national leadership will have to play national democratic role for the safeguard of country’s Islamic ideological role, supremacy of constitution, rule of law, democracy and impartial electoral process.

While condemning terror incidents in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and another target killing by Indian secret network in Lahore, he said that the enemy is targeting freedom of the country and foreign guests and there is no mechanism for the safeguard of life and properties. He said that adhocism has become source of promotion of terrorism and making the people vulnerable.

Liaqat Baloch said that army dictator General Pervaiz Musharraf under the US pressure threw the country in anti-Muslim Ummah war. He said that Benazir Bhutto, Asif Ali Zardari, Nawaz Sharif, PTI founder Imran Khan and now Shehbaz Sharif are following the anti-terrorism policy of General Pervaiz Musharraf. He said that the country could not come out of terrorism until and unless it changes policy on terrorism.

In 2014, the terror incident of Army Public School Peshawar brought the nation on the same page, he said. On this occasion, National Action Plan was made but it was not implemented according to its spirit as it was used against country’s Islamic ideological foundation, mosques, seminaries and imam bargah.
