Siraj flays rulers

LAHORE

Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Senator Sirajul Haq said the people clinging to power despite exposure of their corruption had set the worst example of intransigence. All those whose names had been mentioned in the Panama leaks should have resigned from their offices till the issue was cleared through a transparent probe, he said while addressing a ceremony marking the appointment of new President and Secretary General of Kisan Board Pakistan on Saturday.

Nisar Ahmed Advocate became the new KBP chief in place of Sadiq Khan Khakwani. Arslan Khan Khakwani has been appointed Secretary General.  JI naib ameer Hafiz Muhammad Idrees and Mian Muhammad Aslam, JI Secretary General Liaqat Baloch and other leaders were also present.

Sirajul Haq said people from all walks of life were badly disappointed because of government policies. "Peasants, doctors, teachers and workers are holding rallies to press for the solution of their problems but the rulers are least bothered. The plight of farmers could not improve unless they were given due share in the income of the lands. Similarly, industrial workers must be given a share in the incomes of the industries," he said.
