LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Sirajul Haq has demanded the chief justice of Pakistan to implement the landmark SC judgment annulling the NRO in its true spirit to weed out corruption.
Addressing a dinner he hosted for the MMA Punjab leadership at Mansoora on Wednesday, he appreciated the revival of cases against NRO beneficiaries in line with the SC full court judgment. He said the NRO judgment was a historic decision against corruption. The ruling junta had mercilessly plundered the public money and strict implementation of court decisions was imperative to stop plunder and recover the plundered public money.
MMA Secretary General Liaquat Baloch, MMA Punjab Chief Mian Maqsood Ahmed and other office-bearers were present. Siraj urged the judiciary to expedite the process of accountability and said the judiciary should not be worried about some political quarters trying to block accountability as the masses wanted the plunderers to be taken to task and recovery of the looted money. He said people raising hue and cry over the chief justice’s actions were those who did not allow the rule of law in the country even for a single day. He said the MMA was a religious parties alliance against secular and liberal forces and was the centre of the nation’s hope. He said the MMA would unite the masses for the enforcement of Nizam-e-Mustafa in the country. He said the forthcoming elections would be a contest between US slaves and Ghulamaan-e-Mustafa. He said those who had been in power for the last 70 years made every effort to harm the Islamic identity of the country, but the Islam-loving masses frustrated every conspiracy by the rulers and their alien masters and kept the Pakistan ideology alive. He said people supporting the Muslim League as a religious party were perturbed that the Muslim League was now the biggest hurdle for the Islamic system. Besides, the PML-N government attempted to alter the laws concerning Khatm-e-Nabuwwat. He said the report of the Raja Zafarul Haq Committee on the issue had not been made public so far. He said the unity of religious forces in the country was imperative to save Islamic provisions in the Constitution.
