LAHORE: Ameer, Jamaat-e-Islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq, has expressed the hope that the gang of the corrupt will inevitably be trapped in the Panama leaks case.

Talking to the media here after offering his condolences to the JI Parliamentary leader in the Punjab Assembly, Dr Syed Waseem Akhtar, on the death of his mother, he added that the JI would not rest till the cancer of corruption was wiped out from the country.

Sirajul Haq said that a separate Bahawalpur province was the genuine right of the people of the southern Punjab that had been ignored by the PML-N and PPP governments due to which there was great sense of deprivation among the people there.

The JI said that the government had done great harm to the national dignity and harmony by treating Turkish President as a family guest instead of a state guest. He said the national leadership wanted to exchange views with the distinguished guest which but was not provided an opportunity.

Sirajul Haq said that the nation had high expectations from the Panama leaks case being heard by the Supreme Court. He said the JI did not want accountability of any individual or party, but it wanted accountability of all the plunderers and those having got bank loans written off.

He said that some people were giving the impression that they had scored victory at this early stage but added that the true picture would emerge only after the court verdict.

He said some elements in the opposition were trying to prove that the accountability would be confined only to the Prime Minister and his family and all others would escape. He was however confident that after the Prime Minister and his family, the others would also be made to come in the dock, especially Pervez Musharraf and Asif Zardari.

Meanwhile, Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq, JI Secretary General, Liaqat Baloch, ex-Senator Prof. Khurshid Ahmed, JI deputy chiefs and other party leaders have expressed deep grief over the sad demise of ANP leader and ex- Senator Haji Adeel. They have offered their condolences to the bereaved family and prayed for the departed soul.
