Siraj calls for indiscriminate accountability

LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami Amir Senator Sirajul Haq has called for indiscriminate accountability of all the corrupt in the country. He said that a feeling of injustice and discrimination is strongly emerging among masses about the ongoing accountability drive in the country.

Addressing the meeting of JI’s Central Executive Council (Majlis-e-Shoora) at Mansoora on Thursday, Senator Sirajul Haq alleged the NAB seemed interested in making the people infamous rather than showing any attention in investigation against corruption.

JI Secretary General Ameerul Azim, JI Naib Amir Liaqat Baloch and other leaders attended the meeting which was held to discuss the political situation and formulate future strategy. The JI chief on the occasion criticised the government for jeopardising the national economy and devising external and internal policies under the influence of foreign powers.

He said the skyrocketing inflation, rising unemployment and poor law and order were hitting the people hard but the government completely turned a blind eye to their problems. He said the government claim about fall in imports was a joke, saying the imports reduced due to closing down of businesses and development projects.
