LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Ameer Senator Sirajul Haq has said that the country needed a big revolution that could bury the prevailing system based on tyranny and exploitation; as well as bring the common man at par with the VIPs.
Addressing the JI women wing convention at Mansoora on Saturday, he said that the political parties who had fixed their terms for ruling the country had only been misleading the masses and plundering public wealth. While in power, these parties had been exploiting the general public on whose votes they had come to power.
Sirajul Haq said that the JI was fighting the war of the common man, it did not want power. Instead, it felt itself answerable to the Almighty Allah and it desired to end the prevailing system of tyranny and exploitation and improve the lot of the common. He said if the masses supported the JI, it could kick out the exploiters and agents of the IMF and the World Bank, from the corridors of power and bring the plunderers to accountability. It would recover the ill-gotten wealth from the e ruling elite and spent the amount on public welfare projects.
The JI chief said that the form of politics that increased poverty, ignorance, price spiral and unemployment was Satanic politics. Under such political system, the US agents managed to come to power. These people plundered public money and deposited it in their personal bank accounts abroad. These people had been obtaining huge loans from the IMF and the World Bank thereby placing the coming generations under heavy debts, thus pledging the country’s independence and sovereignty in the enemy hands. As a result, all our policies were prepared to serve US interests. The leaders making tall claims of progress and economic development had been depending on foreign loans and had kept the nation away from the goal of self reliance.
He said that the common man could not get justice from the courts, and justice could only be purchased at a high price. There were no job opportunities for the poor. The JI, he said, wanted to establish the supremacy of the constitution and the law and merit.
He said that the problems being faced by the masses could be solved only with the enforcement of the Shariah.
