Tested parties engaged in friendly wrestling: Siraj

SARGODHA: Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Sirajul Haq has announced that the JI, if comes to power, will provide 10-Marla houses to governors, ministers and bureaucrats.

Addressing an election rally at Kot Momin on Monday, he pledged to break the prevailing colonial-era practice of ruling elite residences. “What is the logic behind the servants of people of a country under massive debt using grand palaces?” He questioned and added that the rulers were misusing the national exchequer for personal protocols and benefits. He urged voters to choose their representatives wisely in the election. He alleged that the tested parties were again engaged in friendly wrestling to deceive people. They had been looting the resources of Pakistan for decades, he said, adding that the PMLN and the PPP were two sides of the same coin. He said a three-time prime minister was seeking another term while the PPP chairman believed that the premiership was his family’s right.

The JI chief said his party would eliminate the interest-based economy and ensure equal distribution of resources. The JI raised a strong voice for the people of Palestine while other parties remained silent. The former ruling parties made a compromise on the Kashmir cause as well. The JI will establish the rule of law and justice and hold across-the-board accountability. The former rulers seeking more terms must be in jail instead of parliament, he said.
