Says government should bring
Pakistani boy being held in custody of Indian police back to the country

ISLAMABAD: The Amir of Jamaat-e-Islami, Senator Sirajul Haq, said that if the establishment, the bureaucracy and the government kept their tradition of protecting their people from accountability, real accountability would never be possible.

Talking to the media after attending the Senate session on Thursday, he said that a “One-Window Operation” was required against corruption, but the government was bent upon adopting delaying tactics.

The JI chief stressed that the parliamentary committee should end the deadlock on the ToRs, and the government should agree to constitute an independent and autonomous commission for inquiry. 

Meanwhile, the Azad Kashmir JI chief, Abdur Rashid Turabi, called on the JI chief in Islamabad and apprised him of New Delhi’s plan to turn the Muslim majority in Kashmir into a minority.  On the occasion Sirajul Haq said that the tyranny and various tactics adopted by India for this purpose were a clear violation of the spirit of the UN resolutions on Kashmir. 

He urged the Pakistan government to raise the issue effectively with the UN and other world bodies.  He also reaffirmed JI’s total support to the Kashmiris in their struggle for liberation.  Senator Sirajul Haq has called upon the federal government and the Pakistani high commission in India to play their role in securing the release of a Pakistani boy lodged at a police station in Rajasthan, India.

In a statement here on Thursday he said that the boy, Ismail, had been kidnapped from Charsadda in 2014 at the age of six or seven and sent to India.  It had now been learnt that the boy was in police custody at Ganga Ram police station in Rajasthan.
