Talk of technocrat government causing unrest, says Siraj

LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Ameer Senator Sirajul Haq has said a general attitude of despair in the government circles and the talk of national and technocrats’ government was causing unrest among people.

In a statement here on Sunday, Sirajul Haq said the OIC would have to go beyond issuing statements and take practical steps for the liberation of the Qibla-e-Awwal. He was sure JI’s Al-Quds March in Karachi would be historic gathering.

He said Palestine issue was not the issue of any individual or party, but was the issue of the entire Muslim world and the Ummah would have to unite on it. He said the eyes of the Muslims all over the world were on the Muslim rulers and the OIC.

He called for total social and economic boycott of the US and expulsion of the US envoys from the Muslim states as this alone could force the US to stop its patronage of Israel. Sirajul Haq said the country’s politics and democracy was enslaved because of which there was neither any development nor problems of the masses were being solved.

Pakistan’s politics was subjected to the interests of a few individuals. In fact, he said, there was no democracy worth the name in the political parties which revolved around a few families and individuals. He said the JI was striving to change the whole system and make politics subservient to the interests of the country and the nation.

The Jamaat-e-Islami chief said that the people criticising the decisions of the courts wanted to obstruct the rule of the Constitution and the law as they could not afford the judiciary to be free.
