LAHORE: In continuation of its ongoing campaign against inflation, unemployment and interest-based economy, Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan on Sunday organized a mass rally here at Buner, passing clear message to the rulers to either fix the problems of the people or get ready to go home.
According to media cell of Jamaat-e-Islami at Mansoora, JI chief Senator Sirajul Haq addressed the gathering, which was participated by thousands of people from all walks of life.
"This government proved itself worst than previous regimes of the PML-N, PPP and Pervaiz Musharraf. It destroyed the economy and damaged every institution in half of its tenure. People are ready to march towards Islamabad to get rid of the Imran Khan regime if rulers remained unconcerned to the miseries of the masses," declared Senator Siraj.
In fact, he held, this government was the gift of the PML-N and the PPP policies to the masses. Both parties who were now posing as opposition desperately failed to introduce institutional reforms and improve economy, letting the PTI to deceive the masses in the name of change, he said. But, he said, after coming into power, the PTI not only continued the policies of the previous government, it even proved itself worst in different field. Now it had been proved, he said, all the three so-called mainstream parties only deceived the masses during their turns in powers and basically they were representative of same ideology and mindset. The people part of the three parties, he added, were the agent of the status quo and international powers and lending agencies whose only job was to protect their own interests and of their masters.
The JI, said Sirajul Haq, was the only party, which was acting as a real opposition and raising voice in interest of the country and its common man. The participation of thousands of people in today's rally even in a far-off area of the KP, he said, was a referendum against the PTI, reminding the prime minister his promise to resign from the office if even one thousand people gathered against him.
Thousands of people holding national and JI flags participated in the rally and shouted full throat slogans against the anti-public policies of the government. JI KP chapter head Senator Mushtaq Ahmad also spoke on occasion.
