Siraj wants implementation of SC verdict on NRO

LAHORE: The Jamaat-e-Islami, Ameer, Sirajul Haq, has demanded the chief justice of Pakistan to implement the landmark SC judgment annulling the NRO in its true spirit to weed out corruption.

Addressing a dinner he hosted for the MMA Punjab leadership at Mansoora on Wednesday, he appreciated the revival of cases against the NRO beneficiaries in line with the SC's full court judgment. He said the NRO judgment is a historic decision against corruption.

The ruling junta had mercilessly plundered the public money and strict implementation of the court decision is imperative to stop plunder and recover the robbed public money. Siraj urged the judiciary to expedite the process of accountability and said they should not be worried about some political quarters trying to block accountability as the masses wanted the plunderers to be taken to task and recover the looted money. He said people raising hue and cry over the chief justice’s actions are those who did not allow the rule of law in the country.

Siraj said the MMA is a religious parties alliance against the secular and liberal forces and is the centre of nation’s hope. He said the MMA would unite the masses for the enforcement of Nizam-e-Mustafa in the country. He said the forthcoming elections would be a contest between the slaves of the US and the Ghulamaan-e-Mustafa. He said those in power for the last 70 years have made every effort to harm the Islamic identity of the country, but the Islam-loving masses frustrated every conspiracy of the rulers and their alien masters and kept the Pakistan ideology alive.

He said the people supporting the Muslim League as a religious party are perturbed that the Muslim League is now the biggest hurdle for the Islamic system. Besides, the PML-N government attempted to alter the laws related to the Khatm-e-Nabuwwat. He said the report of the Raja Zafarul Haq Committee on the issue has not been publicised so far. He said the unity of religious forces in the country is imperative to save the Islamic provisions in the Constitution.

The MMA Secretary General Liaquat Baloch, MMA Punjab Chief Mian Maqsood Ahmed and other office-bearers were also present on the occasion.
