UPPER DIR: Jamaat-e-Islami chief Senator Sirajul Haq has said that Nawaz Sharif was facing divine wrath and he could not befool the masses by talking against the judiciary or the armed forces.
Addressing a large public meeting at Upper Dir on Saturday, he, however, said that the door of repentance was still open to the ousted prime minister and he should better accept the court verdict and seek forgiveness from Allah Almighty.
Sirajul Haq reiterated that the JI would stage an Ehtisab March from Lahore to Islamabad on September 11 to press its demand for the trial of the PPP leadership and Pervez Musharraf and the recovery of the public money looted during their regimes.
He said the disqualification of Nawaz Sharif through court was a big victory of the nation against the status quo forces and the agents of the international establishment. He however said the JI and the nation wanted the accountability process to continue and net all those who plundered billions and trillions of the public money through corruption.
The JI chief said that hundreds of cases of mega corruption were pending with the NAB and those involved in corruption were roaming about freely ridiculing the law and justice. He urged the Supreme Court to begin their trials and also devise a mechanism to retrieve their ill-gotten wealth lying abroad.
Sirajul Haq lamented that the rulers had so far done nothing to prevent the massacre and the eviction of the Burmese Muslims. He said it was only because of the silence of the world community and the cowardly Muslim rulers that scores of Rohingyas were being killed almost daily. —
