The Emir of Jamaat-i-Islami and Senator Siraj-ul-Haq has said that his party will file a petition in Supreme Court to seek action against the enlisted people of Pandora Papers.
At Milad un Nabi (PBUH) conference, Haq said that they had decided in principle to file the petition in the apex court to bring all robbers of national wealth to justice.
He said that Imran Khan’s government was least interested in taking any action against the corrupt exposed by Pandora Papers as, according to him, some people close to Mr Khan were also found involved in amassing ill-gotten money and depositing it in offshore companies.
The Emir said, “Imran Khan has once again proved he is not a man of his word,” he remarked and asked him to behave like a mature leader as he pretended to be before coming to power.
He added, “It is prime duty of every patriotic citizen to rise against the people who have plundered public wealth and then siphoned it off to offshore companies.”
Haq slammed the ruling party for shying away from consulting with leaders of opposition parties on important issues of national interest and termed presidential ordinance on extension to NAB chairman a slap on the face of democratic norm.
He also deplored the rulers unjust attitude towards the people of Tharparkar which was contributing to power generation for the country from its huge coal reserves.
While discussing the Pandora papers, Haq demanded the genuine accountability for all capitalists, former and present rulers, ex-judges and generals whose names were exposed by Pandora Papers and disclosed that efforts were being made to save skins of tainted advisers and ministers who should have been sacked from their positions immediately.
He said at a reception and later told media persons at DC Chowk that PPP and PML-N and those who had brought them to power were responsible for the economic catastrophe afflicting this country.
He praised media for exposing names of the corrupt through Pandora Papers, Wiki and Panama Leaks and demanded Chief Justice of Pakistan take suo motu action to establish a commission of inquiry to investigate 700 names of the corrupt in Pandora Papers and 436 people whose names had appeared in Panama Leaks.
Oppositions staging political farce
JI emir said that no poor and common man’s name had been found on Pandora papers and once again most of the names in the scandal belong to PML-N, PPP and PTI, who are now staging a political farce but actually protecting each other’s interests.
Haq said that at a big gathering of party activists during a stopover in Makli before resuming journey to Islamkot on Thursday that a corrupt coterie had held politics and government hostage in Pakistan for years adding that his party was sincerely striving to enforce Nizam-i-Mustafa in Pakistan as it was the only system that could pull the country and its population out of crises and restore rights of the downtrodden.
He said the poor and the have-nots wielded no weapon but they had power of vote and if they joined hands with Jamaat-i-Islami the party would rid them of all miseries. PPP had held power in Sindh since long but instead of resolving chronic issues of the province the party had further increased them, he said.
Siraj-ul-Haq also expressed deep grief over increasing incidents of suicide and deaths of infants in government hospitals and said that his party had launched a number of charitable projects in Thar which were serving people without discrimination of caste, colour and creed.
He said that the day when the poor and genuine leaders of people reached parliament they would make laws to resolve the country’s problems.
Haq along with JI leaders Asadullah Bhutto, Mohammad Hussain Mehanati, Dada Adam Gandhro and others left for Islamkot in a motorcade later.
