Supreme Court to take notice of off shore properties :Senator Sirajul Haq

Pic Sirajul Haq,Lahore: Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq, has called upon the Supreme Court to take suo moto notice of the heaps of wealth of the present and past rulers of the country in off shore companies  and award exemplary punishment to the plunderers of public money.

Talking to different delegations at Mansoora on Tuesday, he said that the details of the properties of the politicians and their kith and kin given by the Panama Leaks had stunned the nation.

He said that every government had been obtaining huge loans from the IMF and World Bank on high interest rate and the burden of these loans was passed on the common man in the form of raise in taxes and utilities charges. He said that actually the amount of foreign loans was transferred abroad and invested there. He said that if the money invested abroad was earned lawfully, there was no reason to hide it from the public eye. Those building off shore businesses to evade taxes had no right to expect the masses to pay taxes, he added.

Sirajul Haq stressed that all those holding high public offices should be barred from carrying on private business because they were likely to use their official position to expand private business. He said it was astonishing that while the private businesses of the rulers and their families was expanding miraculously, the national institutions were doing down. He said the criminals and dacoits had become the masters of the nation’s fate by virtue of the NRO and added that these people had no right to rule the country unless they mended their ways.

Sirajul Haq said that JI’s Corruption Free Pakistan movement was becoming a national movement and he was sure that in this present situation, the plunderers and dacoits would be forced to quit politics.

He said it was an irony that the rulers were inviting foreigners to invest on this soil. He said if they were sincere to the nation and the country, they should bring their wealth here and invest in the country.
