The JI chief counseled ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to pick up courage and speak the whole truth about horse trading in Senate elections instead of endorsing half of his (Siraj’s) statement in the regard.
He said that some people were objecting to the Chief Justice’s visits to hospitals, educational institutions and federal and provincial departments. He said if the federal and the provincial governments had delivered, there would not have been public complaints against them and the Chief Justice would not have to take this course.
Sirajul Haq said he would request the Chief Justice to clean the country’s politics from corruption as this alone would ensure provision of pure milk, air and water to the general public.
He said that those trading their vote in the Senate election must be taken to task so that the general elections could be free from corruption.
The JI chief however added that in spite of the uncertain conditions, elections must be held on schedule and all political parties should unite on the one point agenda of timely election.
He said that the political parties coming in power on turn had gifted poverty, price hike, unemployment and lawlessness to the masses. He urged the people to reject the self seeking politicians and vote for the MMA in the next elections.
He said the MMA wanted the supremacy of the constitution and the rule of the parliament in the country instead of rule of individuals.
Sirajul Haq said the nation wanted corruption free elections and the common man to return to the assemblies instead of the “princes”.
