caretaker PM

RECORDER REPROT

LAHORE: Chief of Jamaat-e-Islami, Senator Sirajul Haq, has said that the caretaker Prime Minister must be impartial and all political parties should be taken into confidence in this regard.

Talking to different delegations at Mansoora on Wednesday, he said the JI had proposed a name for the care taker Premier and other parties had also given their names. However, he said that the care taker set up should be impartial and all political parties should be taken into confidence in this regard.

Sirajul Haq urged all political parties not to issue party tickets for the next elections to corrupt people so as to help wipe out corruption.

He said it was a common knowledge that the international establishment was afraid of the Islamic leadership in this country whereas the corrupt politicians simply danced to the tune of the establishment.

He said that the JI believed in the change of the system and not of the change of individuals. He said that the biggest hurdle in the change of the system were the Sugar Mafia, Land Mafia and Drug Mafia, who wanted to continue their hold over on political power at every cost as they considered politics and democracy as their house maid.

The JI chief said that the general public could not get justice under the rule of Mughal princes, and freeing the country from the clutches of the corrupt ruling elite was imperative to ensure the basic rights of the masses. He said that feudal lords and vaderas and corrupt capitalists managed to return to power by changing the parties.
