Sirajul Haq expresses concern over deteriorating security situation in KP & Balochistan

PESHAWAR, July 19 (SABAH): Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Emir Sirajul Haq has expressed concern over deteriorating security situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, appealing authorities in Islamabad and Kabul to find a solution to the problem through dialogue.

If the north west of Pakistan would remain disturbed, Afghanistan would also face the heat, Sirajul Haq said in a statement on Wednesday.

Sirajul Haq said the enemies of the two countries were plotting to create rift between the two Islamic neighbors. The governments, he said, must remain vigilant to counter the conspiracies.

Sirajul Haq said the transparent and timely elections were the way forward to put Pakistan on track. The economy would further collapse creating other multiple crises if the elections were delayed or rigged, he said. The people, he said, must vote for the honest and dedicated leadership in the upcoming polls instead of providing further opportunity to already tested political parties. He said the PDM and the PPP government failed to provide any relief to the people, continuing the PTI policies. The Jamaat-e-Islami was the only option left with the masses to bring real change, he added.

The JI Emir said the government was considering an increase in the gas tariff after raising the electricity prices. He said the rulers were not willing to make little compromise on their own luxuries and protocols and always sought sacrifices from the poor masses. The masses, he said, were no longer ready to be scapegoats. He said the bad-governance, corruption and unjust distribution of resources were the root causes of the country’s problems. The tested parties lacked ability to fix the problems, he said.  Therefore, he added, new faces should reach to the parliament instead of feudal lords and imperialists who had been looting the resources for decades.
