Nation urged to face challenges

Published Updated

The Jamaat-e-Islami chief, Syed Munawar Hasan, has exhorted the nation to resolve on the Eid day to face the problems and difficulties confronting the country and get rid of the plunderers and corrupt rulers through the power of the ballot. Congratulating the nation on Eidul Fitr, the JI chief said in a message that Pakistan is passing through the most critical time of its history and the whole nation is facing a period of trial.
This Muslim homeland is suffering because of the wounds inflicted by the aliens as well as its rulers. He observed that lawlessness prevails all over the country. Bloodletting in Karachi has taken away the peace of the whole nation. Price hike and unemployment thrust by the rulers had buried millions alive and pushed them into darkness.
However, he said, that the Pakistani people have to face the situation with courage and resolution, and resolve on this auspicious day to defeat the corrupt politicians with the power of ballot and bring forth patriotic, honest and competent leadership to run the country.
Syed Munawar Hasan appealed the nation to sincerely pray for the security and survival of the country for the restoration of peace and stability, end Karachi bloodshed and getting rid of drone attacks and US intervention. He also urged the masses to remember their less fortunate brethren on this moment of happiness.
