SC Commission to solve Panama Leaks, not PM’s speech: Siraj

PESHAWAR: Jamaat-e-Islami Emir Sirajul Haq has said corruption is major problem of Pakistan and it is eating into vitals of the country like termite.

“Corruption is major problem of the country as people are directly affected by it. Currently corruption is one among the threats facing the country which is eating into vitals of the country like termite.

 We all together will have to fight against corrupt system,” he said while talking to the media here on Monday.He said Panama papers issue would not be resolved by a speech from Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in the National Assembly. It would be addressed by constituting an independent and transparent commission under the chief justice, he added.

“This is a golden opportunity that corrupt families are subjected to ruthless accountability,” he underlined. “If they are not held accountable today, then they will never be held accountable,” he added.

He said rulers breached the trust of the nation and those who plundered national kitty, accumulated assets in other countries. Those who have siphoned off money to offshore accounts have no right to participate in the national politics, he remarked. “People want to keep those from national politics who have looted national wealth,” he added.“Those who have embezzled national wealth have lost their right to rule,” he said. “Now they will have to defend them before the people,” he added.
