JI terms terror incidents govt’s inefficiency

LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Liaqat Baloch has said that repeated incidents of terrorism in country reflected the inefficiency of law enforcement bodies, and that bomb blasts at worship places were a conspiracy hatched by enemies.
There were no differences among the religious parties regarding tough measures for uprooting terrorism and punishing the culprits, he said while addressing the participants of JI central workshop at Mansoora Thursday. Liaqat Baloch said rulers were not ready to give up protocol or bury the VIP culture.
These worshippers of status quo were afraid of honest and true people’s representatives getting elected to the assemblies, he said, adding that JI was determined to uproot these evils. He said the government had failed to transfer the benefit of the record fall in petrol prices to the masses as POL prices were drastically reduced all over the world except Pakistan where the prices were going to increase again.
