MULTAN
Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Sirajul Haq asked the government on Tuesday to form judicial commission to probe the alleged rigging in the last general elections without spoiling any further time for protecting democracy.
“The government will have to constitute the commission whatsoever,” he added while addressing the members of High Court Bar Association Multan. He said that he tried to end quarrel between government and PTI to prevent martial law because whenever political parties fought the country faced martial law. He said that the government had promised to constitute judicial commission and now it could not run from its commitment. He urged upon the PTI to return to the assemblies.
He demanded the government should declare 2015 the year of peace. He said, “We need to unveil the faces of those who set our home on fire. Steps for rule of law and confiscation of illicit arms are imperative to uproot terrorism from the society.” He said that it was not for the first time that the nation carried coffins of its dear ones and now the time had come to unveil the faces of terrorists before the nation. “Peshawar tragedy was not the first one but we pray may it be the last one,” he added. He was of the opinion that Peshawar attack was a pre-planned incident.
He said that international imperialist powers made a vicious plan to capture the Muslim world’s oil and gold reservoirs. “Debacle of East Pakistan was first leg of this plan while attacks on Iraq, Syria, Libya and Afghanistan and occupation of their resources are also different episodes of the same story,” he pointed out.
He was of the opinion that whenever true democracy made progress in Pakistan, the West created hurdles in its way, adding that the US always enjoyed more benefits in Pakistan during dictatorships. He said that Pakistan’s existence, stability and progress were subject to true democracy in the country.
“True democracy is Islamic democracy because it contains elements like justice, faith and a real constitution in terms of Quran,” he noted. He said that the western democracy was a faithless model and therefore it was duty of lawyers to launch a movement for establishment of true democracy in the country.
The JI Ameer said that there was no merit in the country and the rich could buy anything with money. He suggested to the government to develop rule of law in the country and every individual should be made bound to abide by the law. He further asked the government to confiscate illicit arms, make Urdu national language and allow only those parties to contest elections that hold inter-party elections. He said that national political parties had turned into properties of families.
Referring to prevailing crises in the country, he said that despite plenty of natural resources the country was faced with serious power crisis because of ineligibility of the rulers.
Later on, addressing the activists of Al-Khidmat Foundation, a subsidiary of JI, Sirajul Haq said that the JI wanted to turn Pakistan into a welfare, prosperous and democratic state where ills and evils like ignorance, poverty, unemployment, loadshedding and lawlessness shall not exist. He said that every individual would get justice in JI’s Pakistan and the kids of President of the state or a common citizen would get education in the same institution. He lamented that a group of privileged people was in occupation of the nation and the country could not make progress until the nation got rid of them.
“These looters have stashed national wealth in foreign banks and leased out the country to the international organizations,” he regretted. He said that the nation needed to unite at one platform to get rid of them.
He declared that a strong movement would be launched in the country in 2015 to make Pakistan an Islamic welfare state, asking the nation to celebrate the coming year as the year of peace. He regretted that the nation lost its one generation in Peshawar tragedy. He suggested to the government to end VIP culture and only the oppressed should be given VIP protocol.
Earlier, he distributed cheques to flood affectees, scholarships to intelligent students, sewing machines to widows and wheel chairs to handicapped citizens.
