Four parties staged drama in the name of party elections: Siraj

Says JI has lists of govt, opposition leaders who plundered

public money, will hold them accountable

LAHORE

Jamaat-i-Islami ameer Senator Sirajul Haq said four major political parties in the country had staged a political drama last week in the name of party elections, declaring all office-bearers elected unopposed, which was nothing but a big fraud with the nation in the name of democracy and it should be an eye opener for the masses.

“It is time people should understand that the parties having no democracy in their own ranks could not be expected to promote democracy in the country," he said while addressing a large gathering attending a three-day JI Punjab workers convention on its second day on Saturday. He called upon the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to hold party elections under its supervision and parties which did not comply with it, should be barred from general elections.

Sirajul Haq said the JI had lists of government and opposition leaders who had plundered public money and who had got huge banks loans and it would hold all of them accountable. He said the black sheep would be driven out of the corridors of power and thrown into Adyala jail. Sirajul Haq said leeches of the international establishment had been sucking the blood of the masses for the last seventy years and people would not tolerate them any longer.

He said “We are followers of a Revolutionary Prophet (SAW) and are not those who would sit in the corners of  mosques watching injustice going around. Instead, we would rise to the occasion and stop all injustice and wrongdoing.”. He said Pakistan had been established in the name of Islam and nobody could dare turn it into a secular state. He said so far people had been bringing dacoits and thieves to power through their vote but it was time they joined hands for the enforcement of the Nizam-e-Msutafa to change the rotten and corrupt system instead of changing mere faces. He said if the nation wanted to lead a respectable life, it must know that respect and dignity was in the enforcement of Shariah.

He said people who had been coming to power through vote in the past had been pursuing the agenda of the US and world colonialism. He said the names of some elements raising slogans against corruption were also in the lists of offshore companies’ owners. “These people are not against corruption, they are in fact against the masses.

A coterie of around 350 families has been ruling the county so far by changing parties and banners. These people are expert in the art of loot and plunder. These people do not deserve any leniency and the JI after coming into power, would put them behind bars," he said.  

JI Punjab ameer Mian Maqsood Ahmed said Punjab had always led national movements and people of Punjab had great love for Islam and offered huge sacrifices for the rule of Quran and Sunnah, and they would not spare any sacrifice for the sublime cause even in the future. Thousands of JI members and workers from all over Punjab are attending the convention which would culminate on Sunday (today) in the form of a large accountability march that would start from Ferozepur Road and culminate outside the Punjab University.
