PESHAWAR: Amir Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), Sirajul Haq on Sunday announced to launch a country-wide protest against corruption in the month of March.

Addressing the closing ceremony of a three-day youth festival organized by JI, Sirajul Haq said the rulers had plundered Rs293 billion and stashed away in overseas banks.

He regretted that the youth were without jobs despite having degrees. “None of them gets any job without paying bribe for it or getting endorsed,” he added.

The JI Amir vowed to boost the rate of literacy in the country to 90 percent after coming into power.

He said those youth with degrees will be given unemployment allowance till they find a job while the senior citizens of up to 70 years or more will also be paid an allowance.
