There is no threat to the democratic system

Lahore: Secretary General, Jamaat e Islami, Liaqat Baloch, has said that  there was no threat to the democratic system at present and the government was  putting forth engineered issues only to conceal its incompetence and poor performance during its one year rule.

In a statement here on Friday, he said that with the approach of summer, the energy crisis had deepened and the tall claims of the rulers had been exposed. Instead of taking solid measures to overcome the energy crisis, the government was busy in make shift arrangements. On the other hand, the corruption and the incompetence of the rulers had made the life of the masses miserable.

Liaqat Baloch urged the government to stop the economic murder of the workers through privatization of state units. Instead, he said, the government should trust the professionals, engineers and the workers in state controlled units including the Pakistan Steel, OGDC, PIA, WAPDA and utilize their talent for improving the country’s economy.

The JI leader said that the protest by the PTI on May 11 and the Pakistan Awami Tehrik against rigging in the elections and the poor performance of the government was justified and in line with the democratic norms. He said the general public was disappointed over the one year performance of the government an their confidence in the democratic system had also weakened.
