PM should step down: MWM

Islamabad

The general secretary of Majlis Wahdat-e-Musliemeen (MWM), Allama Abbas Nasir Raja while expressing his views over the verdict of Supreme Court of Pakistan in Panama Leak case said that two senior judges of the apex court have declared Nawaz Sharif incapable to hold the office of prime minister. While three other judges have ordered for holding enquiry through JIT. On the basis of the decision of two senior judges, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif should step down from his office, MWM leader said. After the decision by two judges of the apex court Nawaz Sharif has no justification to serve as prime minister, he said.

Talking to a group of journalists, Abbas Nasir Raja said that the people of Pakistan want to see corruption wiped off from the country however the decision of the apex court have disappointed them. The investigation officials of JIT comprises of grade 18 officers then how could they probe the prime minister of the country. JIT has been given a soft way to save the prime minister from corruption case. No good results are expected from JIT, Nasir Raja believed. If one wants to expect fair and impartial probe by JIT in the Panama Leak case then the prime minister Nawaz Sharif has to step down, he stressed.

Talking on poverty, Allama Nasir Raja said that the rulers are doing nothing for the masses. Instead they are busy to save their positions and achieve interests. While announcing mega projects worth billions of rupees of rupees is not enough. Rather people want improvement in health and education sectors. The government has to provide job opportunities to the people, control price hike, end load shedding of power and gas from the country. However, no effective and practical works are being done except the fact that the rulers are giving only mere and false statements.

Replying to a question, Allama Nasir Raja observed that shia and sunnis both are Muslims however, hatred is promoted by some elements between these two sects. However, MWM is working for uniting people of the two sects by creating love among each other.
