Ruling elite imposed reign of hunger, fear on country: Siraj

SIBI: Objectives could not be achieved for which Pakistan was created. This land was obtained for Islamic system. Under a conspiracy, an atmosphere of hunger and fear was established in the country.
These views were expressed by Amir Jamaat Islami Pakistan Sirajul Haq while addressing a Grand Peace Jirga at the Jirga Hall here on Sunday.He said even an infant in mother’s womb was indebted to the World Bank and the IMF. “Pakistan has been running on foreign aid for 67 years and it has been made Himalaya for coming generations. They have degrees, but there is no employment.”
He said the people of Balochistan had to go to schools and not mountains and caves to secure their rights. He said instead of gun, friendship should be made with books and pens and secure rights from Islamabad.
Baton, bullet and gun, he said, was no solution to problems. He said the young generation should gather on Jamaat’s platform for the development of Balochistan and prosperity of its people.
Sirajul Haq said every nook and corner of Pakistan was rich in minerals. “Allah Almighty had blessed this country with minerals, rivers, four weathers and numerous blessings but the Islamic system could not be enforced for which Pakistan was achieved.”
“There are degrees but no employment; there are hospitals but no facilities, there are schools but on education. Corruption and loot is on the rise. Mankind has reached the moon but our children are seen scavenging for food at heaps of garbage.”
He said the president, prime minister and provincial and federal ministers could not travel in the dark of night. “They have taken shelter either in Quetta or Islamabad. Labeling our weaknesses onto the others has become a tradition.”
Siraj said 180 million people were deprived of facilities owing to some people. He said he would ask the political workers to think about the future of coming generations rising above party’s interests.
“Pakistan is the name of 180 million people and not of four provinces. The people of Sibi, Kalat, Quetta and Balochistan supported Pakistan on the call of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah who urged for enforcement of Shariah, Quranic system in the country. He also spent last days of his life in Balochistan, but his successors destroyed his vision and the objective for which Pakistan was achieved could not be fulfilled.”
He said the rulers were enjoying power turn after turn and following the American dictation. “They have made America their ‘Qibla’. By activating capitalism they are fully enjoying. We have to stop their way.”
“We held marches in Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi for the protection of Namoos Risalat (PBUH).We would never forgive blasphemy at any cost. We asked Nawaz Sharif to summon an emergency meeting of OIC but he played the role of a silent spectator. We would unite the Islamic world on our own and secure Namoos Risalat (PBUH) till the last drop of our blood.
Sirajul Haq said Balochistan was bleeding today and everyone in the province was facing problems and disappointment.‘The Baloch nation wants its rights and not charity. It is written in the Constitution that minerals mined from Balochistan are rights of people of the province. Education, health everything has been destroyed here. There exists relation of master and slave.”
He asked Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to fulfill his responsibility of resolving the problems facing the province. Cruel Islamabad, cruel Sardars, cruel Khans and cruel Chaudhries are committing excesses. Let’s pledge today we would make all the political parties accountable and give one system of education to new generation in which all would be equal. We would enforce an Islamic government that would treat five fatal diseases free of cost.”
The JI said the government would provide flour, ghee, rice, tea, sugar at subsidized rates to the low income families. “VVIP and VIP laws would be abolished.”He appealed to Baloch youth not to go to mountains but come to houses. Let us jointly make the rulers accountable.
“They should support the Jamaat-e-Islami in the coming elections to hold the rulers accountable.We would resolve the problems of Balochistan in league with all political parties.”He asked the media not to portray the Baloch youths as terrorists but change its behavior so that no more incidents take place.
He said Zafarullah Jamali and Farooq Leghari came to power but the problem of Balochistan could not be resolved. “Today’s massive jirga would play an important role in the country’s history.”
