People no longer willing to tolerate PPP, PMLN’s dynastic politics: Siraj

HYDERABAD: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Ameer Sirajul Haq on Friday said the people were no longer willing to tolerate the dynastic politics of the PPP and PMLN.

Addressing an election rally in Hyderabad, he said the polling day on February 8 would bury the politics of tested parties permanently.

Haq arrived in Karachi on Thursday night to lead the election campaign. He would address rallies in different cities of Sindh in next two days. A large number of people, including women participated in the Hyderabad rally. The JI chief later addressed a gathering in Tando Adam, Sanghar.

The JI leader said the PPP destroyed the province in its 15-year-long rule in Sindh. Now, he said, the chairman of the former ruling party was again seeking power. The PPP chairman, he added, should have told the public that what they did for the public in the past.

He said the PPP and PMLN had nothing to showcase their past governments’ performances. “The masses must reject them in this election and vote for the JI,” he said and vowed that the JI would bring about real change after coming into power.

He said the MQM is a thing of the past now and stood exposed. The party, he said, was equally responsible for the plight of the public along with the PPP and the PMLN. “They are the sides of the same coin.”

He said the leaders of the former ruling parties opted silence over the genocide of Palestinian Muslims. They, he said, would never speak for Kashmir and Palestine, fearing the US resentment. They rule the country due to the “blessings” of Washington, he asserted.

Haq said the former PPP government had deprived the people of Sindh of basic facilities. The former ruling party, he said, was a club of feudal lords and waderas.

He appealed to the people to break free from the shackles of corrupt system, saying the election provided them best opportunity to change their future.
