ISLAMABAD - Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Sirajul Haq on Monday raised questions over the government’s move to accommodate hundreds of foreigners fleeing from Afghanistan in Islamabad and other cities.
Addressing party workers, the JI Ameer asked the government to inform the nation that why the foreigners fleeing from Afghanistan are being provided accommodations in hotels in Islamabad and other main cities of the country.
Sirajul Haq said, “The rulers should explain their position on stay of people belonging to NATO in Pakistan at a time when other neighbouring countries have refused to do so.”
He said that the government and opposition parties are fighting against each other only to protect their self-interests and they are hardly interested in public cause. The rulers, he claimed, are also least interested in strengthening democratic institutions.
He said that JI has long been asking the political parties to sit together for electoral reforms and share a complete draft on reforms, but it seems they do not want free and fair elections. He said Prime Minister Imran Khan has made tall claims about the government’s performance but the ground realities are completely different.
“There is a need to bring real change and enforce the system for which the country was created.”
The JI chief said the Muslims of this region have made countless sacrifices for Pakistan but the feudal lords and capitalists hijacked the system after few years of country’s creation.
