LAHORE: Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq, has said that Pakistan has the potential for development like Europe but the plunder of the rulers had reduced it to a beggar. He was addressing the concluding session of the three- day Ahbab Convention in London on Monday.
Sirajul Haq demanded indiscriminate accountability of all those who had plundered the public money.
He said the rulers were transferring the public wealth abroad and were expanding their business abroad instead of within the country. He said that all those who did not want to do business in the country, had no right to indulge in politics here. JI deputy secretary general, Muhammad Asghar and JI spokesman in Britain, Syed Shaukat Ali were also present.
He advised corrupt politicians to mend their ways. He said if the plunderers were not ready to bring their wealth back to the country, they should leave the country.
He said it was high time to say farewell to the political Brahmans. He urged the masses to support the JI in order to get rid of the tyrant feudal lords, vaderas and capitalists. He said that thousands of Pakistanis working in Britain and Europe were ready to stand by the JI for building an Islamic and prosperous Pakistan.
Sirajul Haq said that nature had blessed Pakistan with unlimited resources of men and material and talented and hardworking Pakistanis were doing wonders in every part of the world. However, the country had remained underdeveloped only due to the loot and plunder of the rulers. The rulers’ corruption had brought disgrace to the country in the comity of the nations, he added. He said that every new born child of the country was heavily indebted to the IMF and the World Bank.
He said that if the country was liberated from the hold of corrupt rulers and plunderers, the Pakistanis would not need to go abroad for jobs.
Sirajul Haq urged overseas Pakistanis to maintain the identity of the country and their own self and prove to the world that they were not second to none in regard to culture and morals.
He impressed upon around 45,ooo Pakistani students studying in England to continue hard work and achieve distinction and then come back to the country for playing their role in national development.
