Country was destroyed by PML-N, PPP & those who claimed of bringing ‘change’: Sirajul Haq

LAHORE/KARACHI, Dec 31 (SABAH): Emir Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Sirajul Haq has said that the country was destroyed by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and those who claimed of bringing “change.” He said these parties wanted monarchy and family politics.

Sirajul Haq expressed these views in Timergara, Lower Dir while inaugurating electoral office of Maulana Muhammad Ismael candidate for NA-7; his own constituency NA-6 and reception ceremony hosted by traders, citizens and Christian community. On this occasion, Emir Jamaat-e-Islami district Lower Dir Azazul Mulk Afkari and others were also present. He said that February 8 would be a day of mourning for individuals who like monarchy and family politics, adding this day will also be a day of return of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui.

Neither the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) nor the courts could hold the ruling aristocracy accountable, he said and added now the masses would hold them accountable. He said these ruling aristocracy names appeared in Panama leaks and Pandora papers, adding these are those people who looted Toshakhana.

Only the single way of taking the country out of crisis is holding free, fair and transparent general elections, he said. He stressed upon people to use their right of vote in favour of candidates of Jamaat-e-Islami to secure the future of the country. “Though KPK’s is under anarchy but the people would not accept adjournment of election. Some people are in favour of adjournment of election, they are basically feeling danger of defeat. Jamaat-e-Islami is in favour of timely elections,” he added.

Sirajul Haq said, “Election of February 8 is very necessary for bright and prosperous Pakistan. The nation is finding an opportunity and it is upon itself to sustain status-quo or bring about a real change. People have an opportunity to change the destiny of the country with the power of the vote.”

He said during 76 years, the generals ruled the country for 35 years and other period was governed by PML-N, PPP and PTI, and added during this entire period all these people maintained status-quo. Instead of improving economy of the country, these people destroyed it. “They took loans from abroad and made each and every child of the country slave of World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF), he added. These parties imposed interest system and today they have nothing to tell about the people about their performance,” he said.

Meanwhile two-day long International Youth conference on “Palestine Issue” arranged by Islami Jamiat Talba Pakistan ended at Expo Center in Karachi on Sunday. While addressing the conference Emir JI Pakistan Sirajul Haq said that the future of Muslim Ummah is bright, adding that the promise made by Almighty Allah with the Muslims will certainly be fulfilled, adding that the future belongs to Muslim Ummah. Sirajul Haq said that we have to compete with patience and steadfastness, adding that the Mujahideen of Hamas have competed Israel in Gaza with the power of faith and still they are fighting bravely.

Sirajul Haq said that the Mujahideen of Hamas have succeeded in war, adding that we have to do something for taking the success towards the final decision, adding that we will compete with the enemies at every front. Sirajul Haq said that they are thankful to Islami Jamiat Talaba for giving the message of unity to Muslim Ummah.

Sirajul Haq said that we are 1.75 billion Muslims, adding that we have access to nine seas but due to the hypocrisy of the rulers, the 1.75 billion Muslims are present like a graveyard. He said that 7.4 million Muslim armies are watching the destruction of Gaza, adding that our rulers have chosen the path of theocracy and cowardice. He said that the Muslims of the world are with the Muslims of Gaza. He said that the people of non-Muslim countries and Hollywood actors have also supported the suppressed Muslims of Gaza against the Israeli atrocities.

The conference was also addressed by Nazim-e-A’ala Islami Jamiat Talaba Pakistan Shakeel Ahmed, Muntizim-e-A’ala Jamiat Talaba Arabia Muhammad Afzal, head of the Hamas youth organization Dr. Ashraf, Hamas Spokesperson Dr. Khaled Qadoomi and others.
