The dictators had caused the fall of Dhaka : Siraj ul Haq

Lahore : Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator Siraj ul Haq, has said that the dictators had caused the fall of Dhaka while some civilian governments had been brought up by the generals and had been toeing the dictators’ line.

Addressing delegates from different countries at Mansoora on Friday, he said that every dictator attacked the constitution at the first stage which shattered national unanimity.

He said that the JI wanted the rule of the law and the constitution and not the rule of individuals of families. He said this was not the era of Moghal rulers or dictatorship, this was the age of democracy.

Sirajul Haq dared former military dictator Pervez Musharaf not to issue statements while sitting abroad but return to Pakistan and face the courts.

He said that the state institutions which blindly followed the dictates of the rulers without caring for the laws and rules were equally to be blamed for the plunder of the public money along with the actual criminals and they too should be hauled up along with the corruption mafia and brought to accountability. NAB, he said, did not have the authority to let off those plundering billions only after receiving a few millions in a plea bargain.

He said the state institutions had been putting the national interest at stake only to please a few thugs and demanded that the heads of these institutions should also be hauled up.

Sirajul Haq said that the rulers had ignored the objectives for which this country came into being. The rulers neither gave any importance to the ideology upon which this country was created nor did they desire to enforce Islamic injunctions in the affairs of the state.  The rulers had been working on the dictation of the world powers and international establishment.

The JI chief said that the Pakistanis working abroad were the country’s ambassadors all over the world and not allowing them to have a say in the affairs of the state was a great injustice. He said that the JI would continue to raise its voice for the rights of vote of the overseas Pakistanis.  He also exhorted the Pakistan’s embassies all over the world to facilitate the Pakistani immigrants in every possible manner.
