Real accountability is necessary for real democracy : Siraj ul Haq

Lahore : Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami Siraj ul Haq has said that real accountability is necessary for real democracy , supreme court should make a mechanism for  genuine accountability and should start accountability of Zardari and Musharraf eras.

Addressing a big public meeting here at Wah Cantt , Siraj ul Haq said whoever has looted the national exchequer , should be held accountable and every penny of the looted money must be recovered.

He said that the arrest of Zafar Hijazi was the first in the chain of the arrests expected in the Panama leaks case and expressed the hope that that the decision of this case would close the door of corruption forever.
He said the court had provided three chances to the ruling family to present documents but they had failed. He said that accountability
and democratic system should go side with side in the country and added that the JI would continue its struggle till all those named in the Panama leaks were brought to the book.

He said that for the first time, the powerful rulers had to appear before the JIT. He said that the ruling family members were under the notion that they would get full protocol by the JIT but had been
disappointed. He said it was unfortunate that the defense counsel had continued their practice of telling a lie.
He said that the Prime Minister had become sentimental in his public meeting at Dir on hearing the slogan of Ehtisab and his family was perturbed which was natural. He said that till now, he had been demanding the Premier to resign but now that stage was also over.
