LAHORE:
Former Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Sirajul Haq has said that Pakistan can only progress once the PPP, PML-N and PTI are eliminated from the political scene.
“We want to see Kashmir liberated and Dr Aafia Siddiqui liberated. This will be possible only when Pakistan is free from PPP, PML-N and PTI,” Haq said on Sunday while addressing the Azm-e-Nau Youth Convention in Lahore.
“The three parties have brought nothing to the nation, apart from corruption and empty slogans,” he added.
The PPP, PML-N and PTI have all ruled the country – the former several times and the latter once. The PPP currently has governments in Sindh and Balochistan provinces, the PML-N in Central and Punjab and the PTI has ruled Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) since 2013.
Haq added that PML-N has been ruling Punjab for a long time and PPP has been ruling Sindh for years, but the condition of the people remains unchanged. “All three parties are currently in power and they have collectively brought the country to this point,” he said.
The former JI chief said his party was seeking a revolution in the country – a revolution based on obedience to Allah, so that the system functions according to divine guidance rather than human desires.
