General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa was benefactor of both sides—the PDM+PPP & the PTI: Sirajul Haq
LAHORE, Dec 20, (SABAH): Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Emir Sirajul Haq has said that General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa was mohsin (benefactor) of both sides—the PDM+PPP and the PTI—and provided them backing to come to power.
Talking to journalists after addressing “Seerat Conference” at Wahdat Road Science College on Tuesday, Sirajul Haq said former army chief first handed over feeder of milk (support) to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and later gave the same to the incumbent unity government.
The ruling parties, he said while answering a question from journalist, always relied upon the establishment support to come to power. Those who got feeder became glad and those who were denied start crying, he added.
Sirajul Haq said the JI sought end to establishment role in politics. The elections, he said, should be held after electoral reforms. The Election Commission of Pakistan, he said, should be powerful both financially and administratively, free from influence of judiciary, civil and military bureaucracy, police and powerful individuals. He said the elections without reforms would open new pandora box as nobody will accept the results. He said the JI wanted the elections should be held on the principle of proportional representation.
Sirajul Haq called for strong and impartial accountability system in the country. First of all, he added, those who considered themselves among the top ten leaders of the country should be held accountable of their deeds. The PDM, the PPP and the PTI troika were equally responsible to the country’s problems, the accountability of their leaders was need of the hour. They, he added, deprived masses from basic rights.
To another question, he said the masses were witness to the joke in the name of no-trust movements. The drama, he added, had been continued for months with mutual understanding of ruling parties, having nothing to do with the welfare of the people.
He said the people of Pakistan had to decide now, they were free to make decision that either they were agreed to live with the same corrupt system or wanted real change. He said masses should send packing to the tested parties and vote for the JI for corruption free Islami Pakistan.
