LAHORE: Ameer, Jamat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq, has said that the JI would provide full opportunity to the PTI to fulfill its promises made to the people.
Talking to different delegations at Mansoora on Wednesday, he said the JI was keenly awaiting the steps Imran Kahn had in mind for building Pakistan an Islamic state on the model of the Madina State and liberate the country’s economy from the IMF hold.
Sirajul Haq said it was the JI that had suggested to the other parties to join the parliament and the other parties accepted the idea. Besides, he said, some people were in favour of a strong protest but the JI tried to save the country from the 1977 situation to prevent the martial law.
He said that the country could be put on the path of development only through the real supremacy of the parliament and the rule of the law. “ We want the decisions to be taken in the broad day light and not in the darkness of night”, he added. He said if we trust the collective wisdom of the masses, the country would march forward.
The JI chief said that even after spending twenty billion rupees on the elections, the Election Commission failed to hold fair, transparent and reliable election. He said even the Chief Justice of Pakistan had made an adverse comment about the Chief Election Commissioner. He said that when the state institutions interfered in politics, their own image suffered.
Sirajul Haq said that Pakistan’s politics was not free and it was the slave of the international establishment while international colonialism could not see the advance of Islam in any country.
That was why the Islamic forces of Egypt, Palestine and many other states securing public support
through democratic process were not accepted by the world establishment, he added.
He said the JI was striving its best to unite the religious forces in the country. He said the religious parties had secured 5.5 million votes and added that if these votes had been united, the religious parties would have much larger representatives in the parliament.
Sirajul Haq said the JI did not accept the west’s view of restricting Islam to the mosque.
Instead, it wanted to see Islam active and dominant in every part of human life. He said the time would soon come when Pakistan would become a true Islamic state I which the Shariah would be supreme.
