Only liberals names are in the Panama leaks : Senator Sirajul Haq

Lahore: Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq, has said that only liberal and secular people were named by the Panama leaks for tax evasion and there was not a single religious scholar or madrissah head facing corruption charges by the NAB. He was addressing a prize distribution ceremony at the Al-Markaz Islami, Singhona, in Swat district on Sunday.

Sirajul Haq said that the rulers were expected to be honest and truthful. However, he said, the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had told a lie to the nation in his address to the nation that his family had earned billions during seven years of exile in Saudi Arabia.  He said that thousands of people from Malakand had been working in Saudi Arabia for years but they could only make both ends meet.

He said the so called women protection law introduced in the Punjab would destroy domestic peace and harmony by involving the police in petty matters. He said that the Ulema and religious people had great respect for the women folk whereas the secular and liberal people had undeclared wives and kicked them from the homes at midnight. “It is these people who torture and disgrace the women and had no regard for the women”, he added.

He said that the rulers had made a blasphemer their hero and executed the lover of the Holy Prophet (pbuh).

Sirajul Haq said that the JI on coming to power, would grant allowance to the aged people as well as the unemployed youth.

He said that all those who had plundered public money would be made to bring back his wealth which would be used for public welfare and paying off IMF debts.
