Lahore July 21 (Online Int’l): Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Emir Senator Sirajul Haq has said that the prime minister and his army of unelected advisors make a complete surrender before the mafias, destroying the economy and starving the masses.
Talking to the party leaders and head of Al-Khidmat Foundation at Mansoora on Tuesday, he said corrupt elite engaged in the looting of country’s resources with both hands as people witnessed the worst crises of sugar, wheat and petrol in past 22 months.
Commenting on the information minister statement that the cabinet raised concern over the disappearance of wheat from the market, he said it seemed ironic that a government was “expressing concern” instead of taking action against the culprits involved in the wheat theft scandal.
The Senator said the economy was collapsed, unemployment and inflation were rampant and people were unable to meet their ends. He said the unelected members having dual nationality were the burden on national exchequer.
The special advisors of the prime minister were enjoying all luxuries while the masses were deprived of flour and sugar, he regretted. He said the prime minister claims to bring change proved lie.
He said although present regime was the continuation of the past tenures of PPP, PML-N and Musharraf, it tried hard to break the previous records of mismanagement and bad governance. He said there was need to get rid of the ‘doctrine of necessity” and run the country on the true democratic principles.
Meanwhile, the JI chief expressed concern over the disappearance of senior journalist Matiullah on broad day light from the federal capital, demanding the government to immediately ensure his recovery.
