Siraj wants implementation of SC verdict on NRO

LAHORE: 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 NRO beneficiaries in line with the SC full court judgment. He said the NRO judgment was a historic decision against corruption. The ruling junta had mercilessly plundered the public money and strict implementation of court decisions was imperative to stop plunder and recover the plundered public money.

MMA Secretary General Liaquat Baloch, MMA Punjab Chief Mian Maqsood Ahmed and other office-bearers were present.

Siraj urged the judiciary to expedite the process of accountability and said the judiciary should not be worried about some political quarters trying to block accountability as the masses wanted the plunderers to be taken to task and recovery of the looted money.
