Makhdoom Javed Hashmi, MNA and a leader of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) has said corrupt politicians would be hanged publicly and looted wealth would be brought back to Pakistan. Speaking at a big public meeting in Samorana, a suburb of Multan here on Saturday, he said that the country was facing a number of political and economic problems but rulers were not interested in solving issues of the masses.
He said that the present government has failed to solve the problems of the masses. Consequently, there was a severe threat to country's integrity, stability and prosperity. He warned that there would be bloodshed in Balochistan and streets would be full of blood if the government fails to satisfy the Balochs. Hashmi said that United States, Israel and India were plotting to disintegrate the country but Pakistani politicians and rulers had shut their eyes like a pigeon.
Hashmi said that he would address in the next session of National Assembly and he would give a formula for division of Punjab and other provinces to create smaller provinces. He said that there would have been no disintegration of Pakistan in 1971 had the East Pakistan divided into at least three provinces. He said that the bureaucracy had made the system unchangeable since the creation of Pakistan and people who raised voices for their lawful demands were called traitors.
He advised political parties to stop opposing public demands for new provinces. Criticising the former Foreign Minister, Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Hashmi said that he played the drama of Raymond Davis but the drama flopped and Qureshi failed to attain the Ministry. He alleged that Qureshi's forefathers betrayed the Muslims of the sub-continent in the 1857 freedom movement. Consequently, 2500 Muslims were martyred in Multan only. Then British rulers allotted hundreds acres of land to Qureshis to support British government.
Hashmi warned against an imminent spillover of rising public anger in Afro-Arab states, if the political leadership fail to deal with the economic crisis. "Nobody should think that democracy can save us. It won't," he said. The leader, who spent over four years in jail during former President Pervez Musharraf's era, was speaking to the House from the first time after recovering from a brain haemorrhage. He said: "Don't try to use the nation for your interests."
Hashmi said lessons should be learnt from the events that are unfolding in Egypt. He added that Pakistan's economic condition was even worse than Egypt's and in the present circumstances it is not advisable to turn a blind eye towards the situation.
