Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Ameer Senator Sirajul Haq has called upon the care taker government, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and concerned institutions to take the masses in confidence regarding the questioned being raised about the elections.

Addressing election meetings in Chakdara and Talash, he said that it was the government and ECP’s responsibility to hold free, fair and transparent elections. He added that if the elections were controversial, the federation and the national unanimity could face serious threats.

Siraj said that the only way to prevent chaos and bloody revolution in the country was to restore the people’s confidence in elections. He said that the impression that the government was patronizing a particular party should end.

The JI chief said that had there been an Islamic system in the country, a dictator would not have dared to play with the democratic system and the constitution. He said that the MMA was striving for an Islamic revolution so that every citizen got equal rights and no one could exploit the other.

He said that the MMA, on coming to power, would abolish interest and establish the Islamic economic system so that the common man could be freed from poverty, unemployment, price hike and oppressive taxes.

The JI chief also said that, under the Islamic system, there was no scope for dictators as Islam was against injustice and tyranny and did not allow exploitation of any individual.
