Narrative of good general & bad general is dangerous & poisonous for country: Liaqat Baloch

LAHORE, Sep 05 (SABAH): Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Acting Emir Liaqat Baloch has said the narrative of good general and bad general is dangerous and poisonous for country.

The terms like good leader-bad leader and good Taliban-bad Taliban were also used in the past, ultimately proving toxic, Liaqat Baloch added while talking to journalists at Mansoorah on Monday on occasion of dispatching aid to flood victims.
The JI central Punjab chapter arranged over 30 trucks of aid foral-Khidmat Foundation relief activities in affected areas. Liaqat Baloch told journalists that the JI charity had so far distributed aid of over seven billion. He thanked the nation for support, saying the local and international media also appreciated humanitarian services of the al-Khidmat. 

Referring to PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s recent statement, he said the politician should avoid making the national institutions as controversial. Liaqat Baloch said the problems will end by ensuring rule of law in the country. He said the JI always called for adopting the principle of merit about the top-level appointments in institutions.

Thanking the international community for extending relief aid to flood victims in Pakistan, Liaqat Baloch also demanded transparent distribution of the foreign and government announced aid. He said mismanagement and corruption had been reported on wide level in distribution of aid during floods of 2010 and earthquake of 2005 but no actions were taken against the responsible. He said the JI would not let this happened this time and build public pressure for fair distribution of aid. He said the JI would continue services till the rehabilitation of victims. He also highlighted the need to develop inter-connected and strong system of aid distribution.

The JI acting chief said Pakistan was full of resources but the rulers were responsible for the plight of the masses. The ruling elite, he added, looted the country’s resources, abandoning the masses. He said the country had been facing multiple crises and there was dire need to make united efforts to pull it out of problems. He said Islamic system was solution to Pakistan’s problems.
