Urges NAB to open 150 mega corruption cases; says businesses and assets of rulers are expanding while national institutions are facing losses; asks
SC to compare parliamentarians’ assets submitted to ECP with actual properties
MUZAFFARGARH: Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Sirajul Haq has asked the people to join the JI ‘Corruption Free Pakistan’ campaign.
He said this while addressing a public gathering here on Friday. JI KP Ameer Mian Maqsood Ahmed, MNA Jamshed Dasti, MNA Arslan Khan, ex-MPA Ch Muhammad Asghar Gujjar, Umar Draz Farooqi, Usman Farooq and Ch Amir Karamat were also present.
JI Ameer Sirajul Haq appealed to the Supreme Court to check the record of assets of parliamentarians submitted by them to the Election Commission and compare them with their actual properties. He said that those who want to damage Pakistan’s ideology were the worst enemies of the country.
“Pakistan is like a mother to us and if someone tries to harm it, we would break his/her neck”, he added. “Fighting for the security of the country is a sacred Jihad,” he maintained. The JI chief demanded the NAB open 150 mega corruption scandals and decide them at the earliest.
He alleged that it was surprising that personal businesses and assets of the rulers were expanding at a great speed and the number of their factories was on the rise every year whereas the national institutions under the rulers were incurring huge losses.
He said that it was the responsibility of the nation to protect the national assets. The JI chief alleged that the NAB strategy of plea bargain had been devised to give a clean chit to big plunderers.
Sirajul Haq alleged that after the NAB’s action in Punjab, the PM ordered NAB not to torture innocent people, which show that no institution could function independently.
He said that the judiciary had a great role in ensuring the rule of law. It should be determined who permitted former president Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf to fly from the country, he added.
