Emir Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), Sirajul Haq while rejecting the mini-budget has called a meeting of the central leadership at Mansoora on Saturday to discuss the prevailing situation of the country.

In a statement issued here on Friday, he said, "We will not sit silent on anti-people policies of the government."

Sirajul Haq said the economy was on the verge of collapse due to the ill-planning of the PTI. He said the government had made full surrender before the IMF for one billion dollars. The government, he believed, would become ready to impose taxes on air and light if the international monetary fund gave direction for it.

He said the trade deficit had touched $25 billion in the first six months of the current fiscal year. The rulers, he said, were planning to further increase the electricity and gas tariffs. He said people could not afford meals for two times as the earning opportunities had vanished. Millions of youth were jobless and the promise of the prime minister to create jobs proved life, he added.

Holding the former and present government equally responsible for the plight of the masses, Sirajul Haq said the feudal lords and corrupt capitalists were part of the three parties and they were least bothered about the miseries of the common man.

The JI chief said the ruling elite made billions of rupees by looting the country's resources and stashing their money in shell companies. Their (rulers) children were living in palaces but on the other side, millions of poor kids were out of school due to hunger and poverty. He said the government never paid attention to strengthening the system.

Siraj said the JI was not against any party or individual but it was fighting for changing the corrupt system. He said the people should vote for the JI to put the country on track.
