MULTAN - Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Secretary General and candidate from NA-149 Liaqat Baloch has said that the upcoming general elections will prove a turning point for the country and voters’ positive decision will put the country on path of revolutionary progress.
Addressing a workers convention in PP-195 here in Shah Rukan-e-Alam Colony on Saturday, he added that political defections, corruption, ineligibility and violation of moral values for getting tickets jolted the very foundations of the state.
He said that the JI was the only party that could turn Pakistan into a prosperous, calm and honourable state. He said that liberation from imperialism and removal of feudal system was the manifesto of JI so that the masses, especially the youth, labourers and poor sections of the society could enjoy real happiness of life.
He declared that the JI would bring looted national money back to the country and recover written off loans from the mafias. He added that capital punishment would be given on corruption and all properties made through corruption would be confiscated if the JI came into power. He said that a strict ban would be imposed on unjust utilization of national exchequer and use of national resources for personal purposes. “We’ll bring revolutionary changes in tax system, offer ownership rights to the residents of katchi abadis and grant stipends to disable citizens, widows and jobless,” he declared.
Speaking on this occasion, JI candidate from NA-150 Abdul Mohsin Shaheen said that the JI represented the poor and middle class of the country and it was the only party that could bring a real change. He added that those raising the slogans of roti, kapra aur makan deprived the masses of last bite and shelter.
He said that the so called elected representatives embarrassed Pakistan in the world through their corrupt practices. He said that the time had come to get rid of American stooges and looters of national wealth and to bring forth honest leadership.
JI candidate from PP-195 Dr Hafeez Anwar, Younus Javed Ansari, Maulana Inam Ullah and Muhammad Shahid also spoke on this occasion.
