LAHORE: The Islami Tehrik and the Shia Ulema Council have announced their support for the MMA candidate from NA 130, Liaqat Baloch in the elections.
The announcement was made by the Islami Tehrik leaders including Allam Sibtain Haider, Hafiz Raza Kazim, at a joint press conference with Liaqat Baloch, here on Sunday. Addressing the Shia community on the occasion, Liaqat Baloch said that the religious alliance was fighting against the opportunists and self seeking politicians who had been ruling the country for the last seventy years.
He said that the MMA would provide a neat and clean leadership to the masses and pull out the country out of the crises it was facing. The energy crisis would be resolved and the image of the homeland would be raised in the comity of the nations through policies of self reliance. He expressed the hope that the MMA would lead the country to an Islamic revolution with the enforcement of the system given by the holy Quran and the Sunnah. He was sure that the corrupt mafias would face a major defeat in the elections.
Liaqat Baloch called upon the government to withdraw the raise in the POL prices and said that the raise by the care taker government was a contempt of the court. He said that sharp rise in the POL prices would lead to exorbitant raise in the prices of each and every thing and add to the problems of the general public.
Addressing corner meetings in his constituency, the MMA candidate said that the former ruling party was facing problems because of its misdeeds but the cobbling up of the disgruntled elements from all parties was bringing bad name to politics and democracy as such.
Liaqat Baloch impressed upon the Supreme Court to initiate the acco8ntbaility of the 435 other persons named by the Panama leaks.
