Imran Khan’s govt destroyed economy & handed over Pakistan to the IMF: Sirajul Haq

TAUNSA, Dec 27 (SABAH): Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Emir Sirajul Haq has said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government has gifted the country with plethora of problems in three and half years.

“Imran Khan’s government destroyed the economy and handed over Pakistan to the IMF,” Sirajul Haq said while addressing a public meeting in Taunsa tehsil of district Dera Ghazi Khan on Monday.

The JI Emir was earlier given reception by the party’s local leaders and workers in Muzaffargarh where he also met with the notables of the area. The governments of the PTI, the PML-N, the PPP and military dictators had miserably failed to deliver during their rule over country, he said, adding the JI was the only option left with the people now.If voted to power, he vowed, the JI would transform the country as per vision of Quaid-e-Azam Muhmmad Ali Jinnah.

Sirajul Haq said the feudal lords and ruling elite did not want to see a common man in assemblies. They, he added, created hurdles in the way of educated youth and wanted the masses to severe them like their [ruling elite] elders had served the British rulers of united India. The ruling elite of the country, he added, was carrying the legacy of the colonial era. He said there was need to get rid of them through peaceful democratic struggle. He said the country could not be put on track in presence of corrupt system.

Sirajul Haq said the southern Punjab was presenting a gloomy picture of affairs. The roads and infrastructure of the area of 40 million population were badly damaged as the PTI had not paid any attention to the people’s demands, he said, adding the ruling party deceived the residents of southern Punjab like they were tricked by the PML-N and the PPP governments in the past. He said the majority of the population was without facility of clean drinking water. The PTI had not built any university and hospital in three years in the area, he said, demanding the rulers fulfill the promises they made with the public. He appealed to the people to reject the tested faces in the coming election and vote for the JI.
