LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) ameer Senator Sirajul Haq has alleged that since the creation of Pakistan, the protégé of British colonists have been ruling over those who sacrificed their kith and kin for the establishment of the country.
If nation could rise again with the spirit it showed at the time of Pakistan movement, the oppressive rulers comprising feudal lords, capitalists and industrialists could be overthrown in no time to establish Islamic Shariah for which the country was established, he said while addressing civic receptions in his honour in Makkah and Madina, says a message received at Mansoora on Thursday. Sirajul Haq also performed Umrah.
He said in order to save the country from anarchy and chaos, the ruling elite should stop treating the masses as a flock of sheep and allow them the right to live as free citizens instead of usurping their rights.
He said JI’s politics was not aimed at seeking power for its own sake instead. JI wanted to end the system of exploitation and overcome poverty and ignorance and build Pakistan on the pattern of the Madina state, he added. He said the days of a revolution were nearing and all those who were responsible for the poverty, illiteracy and corruption in the country would not escape.
Civil service: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) acting ameer Liaquat Baloch has said fair and transparent elections are the path of a lasting change of leadership and the system and for welfare of the masses.
Talking to a PILDAT team that visited Mansoora on Thursday, he said the elections should be fair, free and impartial and the state and politics should work within the constitution. Baloch said the civil service reforms were the need of the hour. He said that the state machinery and functionaries should behave as servants of the masses and not the rulers. Earlier, talking to a delegation of Punjab Professors and Lecturers Association, the JI acting ameer said the demands being put forth by the association were justified and the government had already accepted these under an agreement.
