Siraj asks Pakistan, Iran, Turkey to play role

PESHAWAR: Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) head Senator Sirajul Haq on Saturday said that Pakistan, Iran and Turkey should play a role in resolving the Yemen conflict.
Addressing a conference of the Islami Jamiat-i-Talaba at Al-Markaz-e-Islami, he said that he had proposed holding a conference in Islamabad over the issue of Yemen.
The JI head said that the Election Commission should take notice of the situation in Karachi. He added that the Election Commission needed no more proof after what Nabil Gabol had disclosed.
Sirajul Haq said that Karachi was facing the same problems that it faced 20 years back. “The people of Karachi voted for the MQM, but what it did for Karachi,” he said and declared the MQM a fascist organisation. “But we have decided to emancipate people in the port city,” he went on to add.
He said the economy of the country depended on Karachi as the port city was the hub of economic activities.
The JI chief said the JI would ensure free-treatment of five terminal diseases if voted to power. “We will also ensure shelter to the shelter-less,” he added. The JI would also protect the right of the women in country. “The women would get their due share in inheritance,” Siraj vowed.
Stressing the need for educating girls, Sirajul Haq said the parents, who didn’t send their daughters to school, must be reprimanded.
