Train march against corruption

PESHAWAR: Jamaat-e-Islami, Nowshera chapter, has announced to accord a warm welcome to the participants of the train march against corruption on May 25.

Addressing a press conference here on Sunday, JI Nowshera district head Anwarul Islam, deputy head Inayatullah and information secretary Iftikhar Ahmad Khan said the party had finalised arrangements for receiving the train march participants at Cantonment Railway Station in Nowshera. The workers of JI and its different wings like Islami Jamiat-i-Talaba, Shabab-e-Milli, labourers, lawyers and teachers, etc would gather in large number at the railways station to accord welcome to the march participants, they informed.

They said the ‘corruption-free train march’ would start from Peshawar Cantt Railway Station at about 8 am on May 25 and after a short stay at Pabbi the train, Awami Express, would reach Nowshera at 10 am where the party chief, Sirajul Haq, will address the gathering.

Demanding across-the-board accountability and penalty of death for those found corrupt, they said the JI chief had declared corrupt as major issue that was serious threat to the country’s solidarity than Indian atom bomb.
