Lahore September 25 9Online): Jamaat-e-Islami Amir Senator Sirajul Haq has called for seeking the consent of the people of Gilgit-Baltistan to decide the status of the area.

Talking to media persons on Friday, he said there was also a need to hold discussion in the Parliament and taking into confidence the Kashmiri leadership before giving provincial status to GB.

JI Naib Amir Liaqat Baloch and other leaders also spoke on occasion and welcomed Ch Tauseef in the party folds.

“The entire struggle of the Jamaat-e-Islami revolves around the objective to transfer Pakistan into a true Islamic welfare state,” said Senator Siraj.

He said the people of Pakistan had already tested all the political parties which did nothing during their tenures except from ruining the country economy, destroying institutions and damaging its ideological boundaries.

Similarly, he said, the military dictators ruled the country for over 37 years and played with the fate of the people. He said the successive military rules and so-called democratic set ups paid no attention to change the fate of the common man but the ruling elite only focused on amassing wealth by looting the country’s resources. He said over 70 years passed but the masses witnessed no change in the life.

He said the PTI proved the last party which deceived the masses in the name of change. He said the present government snatched everything from the masses and left them in miserable condition in past 26 months.

The prices of medicines, flour, sugar, electricity and other needs touched the skies, thousands lost their jobs and every sector was on the verge of collapse, he said, adding the masses now wanted to get rid of the ruling elite and demanded for a system based on the true principles of Islam.

He said the JI was the only party which could put the country on the path of development if voted to power.

To a question, Senator Siraj said the JI would continue its role as a real opposition party and would never hesitate to fight for the public issues.

 He also demanded the government pay the four and five months pending salaries to the employees of the Radio Pakistan, vowing to raise the issue in the Senate of Pakistan if the issue was not resolved immediately.

The JI chief thanked the Turkish President for raising voice for the people of Kashmir. He, however, regretted the Pakistani government failed to fight the case of Kashmir at international level.
