The Ameer of Jamat-e-Islami has said that attack on the shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar is attack on entire nation; he went to Sehwan Sharif for condolence. Corruption and terrorism are correlated, where there is economic terrorism, in that society armed terrorism also increases, some terrorists are hiding caves; while others are in assemblies. This he said while addressing Meet the Press at Hyderabad Press Club on Monday.
"The institutions that were to take accountability are themselves involved in corruption and they in deep love with corrupt people, such corrupt officers have ruined all the institutions and became servants of elite class who were to be brought in circles of accountability, when the name of ruling family came out in Panama scandal, we sent an application to NAB but it failed totally, we wanted to have legislation in the assembly but the rulers saw their faces in the mirror, so they broke down the mirror, after that we went to Supreme Court and the biggest case of life is in the highest court of the country and hope that it would give decision against corruption," he added.
Siraj further said that it is not the job of government to cry after an incident, but the government should take stern measure to avoid any incident, even in the war of 1965 such number of people didn't die as they have died in terror attacks, blaming each other is not the job of federal or provincial governments. "Our stance on FATA is same as of people of FATA, there is relation of FATA with KPK and we are with them in assembly, we don't want that federation should impose its decision on people of FATA," he said.
