Some non serious people still learning the art of government : Siraj ul Haq

Lahore : Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq has said that the Indian troops killed at Pulwama had been there not for studies but had been tasked to carry out the genocide of the Kashmiris, therefore, the Kashmiris had the right to defend themselves and to avenge the atrocities being committed by Indian army. He was addressing a workers convention at Gujranwala.

The JI chief said the nation accepted Modi’s challenge. He exhorted the armed forces of the country and the Prime Minister to go ahead against India in the name of Allah and assured that the whole nation would stand shoulder to shoulder with them. He said that the people of Pakistan, the armed forces and the government were on one page against India.

He said that in Modi’s India, not only the Kashmiri Muslims, but also the oppressed Hindus, Sikhs and Christians were being massacred and exploited.

The JI chief deplored that on one hand, Modi was hurling war threats to  the country, on  the other hand, the peoples elected representatives were at blows with one another in the parliament. He said that the government had fallen in the hands of non serious people some of whom were still learning the art of government.

Sirajul Haq said that a change in the country could not come without bidding farewell to the present rotten and exploitative system and without enforcing the Islamic system based on the holy Quran and the Sunnah, in accordance with the constitution. He said that the masses would have to rise  against the present oppressive system.      

He said that the PTI government coming on the slogan of change was composed of the people who had been in the government of Pervez Musharraf,  the PPP and the Muslim League and these people could not deliver.          

Siraj ul Haq said that Nawaz Sharif had abolished the weekly holiday on Friday on the ground that it would benefit the country’s economy. He  said one could ask how far had this decision benefitted the economy. He said that the rulers of the past as well as the present were not prepared to follow the Islamic system.

Speaking on the occasion, JI chief for central Punjab, Amirul Azeem, said that the government which had promised relief for the masses, was levying more taxes on the people.
