Dynastic politics causes a huge loss to democracy: Sirajul Haq
LAHORE, July 05 (SABAH): Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Emir Sirajul Haq has said that dynastic politics causes a huge loss to democracy, adding the decisions about the future of Pakistan made within the families would never gain public trust.
Presiding over a meeting of central leadership at Mansoorah on Wednesday, Sirajul Haq said the rule of law and democracy would only strengthen when the people would be provided the opportunity to elect their representatives through transparent elections.
The meeting condemned the Israeli forces’ brutal action and terrorism against Palestinian and expressed solidarity with the Palestine freedom movement. The leadership also reviewed preparations for the “international condemnation day”, which the JI is organizing on Friday in different countries, including Pakistan, with the cooperation of worldwide Islamic movements. Sirajul Haq appealed to the prayer leaders of mosques to lead the protests demonstrations in all cities.
Sirajul Haq said the JI was fully prepared for the elections and it held successful conventions of the candidates in KPK and Punjab. The election conventions would be held in Balochistan after the event in Sindh on July 16, he added. The leaders and workers must expedite Dastak Movement, he said, vowing the JI would not accept any delay in the elections. The government tenure would end on August 12, and there must be a caretaker set up on the very next day, he added. Even a single day delay in the national poll would cause irreparable loss to the country, he warned.
The JI chief said the government of the 13 parties also failed to deliver after the experience of the PTI. It also proved the ruling parties lacked the ability to bring the country out of prevailing crises, he added. The people must get rid of the status quo and vote for the JI to bring real change, he said. If voted to power, he added, the JI would abolish the interest-based economy and introduce a strict system of justice and accountability.
