Politics in the country has been made a business: Sirajul Haq

Lahore:  Ameer, Jamaat e islami, Pakistan, Sirajul Haq, has said that the  politics in the country had been made a business in which the election was  put to auction are the whole thing was purchased by the interested quarters.

Addressing a large public meeting at Shikarpur during his Sindh tour, he said that despite repeated elections, the lot of the common man had not improved.

He said that those who were conferred Jagirs (big land holdings) by the British for their treachery to the Muslims masses, had been in power and they had been availing their turn one after the other. He stressed upon the masses to reject this system altogether. Sindh chief of the JI, Merajul Huda Siddiqui and deputy chief, Muhammad Husain Mehnati, also addressed.

The JI chief said that if these politicians remained at the top with mere change of faces, the fate of the country and the nation would not improve, and added that the present oppressive political system  did not provide solution to the problems facing the country.“ I have seen Islamabad from close and have noticed that there  is every facility for the rich but no room for the poor”, Sirajul Haq remarked.

Sirajul Haq said that there were only two parties in the country, the first was of the rich and the second was of the poor and the oppressed. He said while the rich never fought with one another, the poor stood divided.

The JI chief said he had come out to unite the poor in the country because if they stood united, they would be much stronger that a nuclear bomb.  He said that only the Islamic system could guarantee a developing and prosperous Pakistan.

Referring to PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto’s address in Karachi on Saturday, the JI chief said the PPP had been in power in Sindh for years and even now it was in power in Sindh, Gilgit and Azad Kashmir. Then against whom Bilawal was making a complaint? He said that at the Karachi meeting, Asif Zardari and Bilawal had talked of the oppression on the poor and the deprivations of the Sindh province and every speaker tried to convert the public meeting into Karbla tragedy,  However, none of them had made the point that as the PPP had been in power at the centre and in Sindh, they had no right  to make such complaints now.

Sirajul Haq said that in fact, it was the masses who were  to be blamed for their present plight as they did not distinguish between the false and the true leaders and blindly voted for the vaderas and feudal  lords every time.

The JI chief said that the in Sndh, tribes were fighting with one another and hundreds of people had been killed in these fights.  He stressed upon the former president  to give top priority to the issue and seek the cooperation of Sindh Chief Minister  Syed Qaim Ali Shah and Syed Khurshid Shah for rapprochement between the warring tribes.

Addressing  the former President, he said ” Zardari Sahib, if you are unable to do this, we would have to take our Jirga  there for the purpose.” It is a pity that the poor are being killed and the graveyards are expanding, he said. He said  There was lawlessness and unrest all over Sindh due to which the common people man could not leave their homes at night.  If the rulers  can’t provide security to the masses, they have no right to remain in power, he added.
