Talk of technocrats’ govt causing unrest: 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.

Sarwar: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf central leader Chaudhry Muhammad Sarwar has said that corrupt people cannot stop accountability by threatening the national institutions.

The whole nation stands by Supreme Court, he said, adding that corrupt people were responsible for problems in the country. In a statement issued on Sunday, Chaudhry Sarwar, talking about the criticism of judiciary, said that parliamentary democracy depended on the efficiency of three pillars of state: legislature, executive and judiciary.

Democracy is the name of protection of interests of people at large by active engagement of all pillars of state on all levels by getting stimulus from unanimous consensus of people in durability of democratic set-up, he added. Unfortunately, in Pakistan, the executive and legislature have failed to perform their duties duly, so the judiciary has no other option but to intervene to ensure application of rule of law under the constitution of Pakistan, the PTI leader said.

The decisions of judiciary are being criticised to sabotage process of accountability, he added. He said the speed of accountability must be enhanced. He claimed that Imran Khan would be the next prime minister of Pakistan because he was a popular leader of the country. Sarwar said that the people of Pakistan had unflinching trust in the leadership of trustworthy and truthful leader Imran Khan. He said Imran had the ability and will to rid the country of crisis. He said Imran Khan was the last beacon of hope for the nation and he would continue rendering his services for people of Pakistan.
