ISLAMABAD, June 2: Ameer, Jamaat-e-Islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq, has said that if the establishment, 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. He said that a true and transparent accountability was the demand of the whole nation.
The JI chief stressed that the parliamentary committee should end the dead lock on the ToRs and the government should agree to constitute an independent and autonomous commission for enquiry. He said that Government’s refusal to grant an autonomous status to the commission clearly implied that it was not serious for Ehtisab.
He said some people wanted to hide the idol of corruption under the dust and hue and cry over many issues, but the nation was determined to have accountability now as it would be “Now or never”.
Sirajul Haq said it was only because of corruption that the country was facing the problems of poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, price hike and lawlessness. Again, it was also due to corruption that the country was buried under the huge loan of the IMF and the World Bank. If those plundering public money were not brought to accountability and thrown out from the echelons of powers, the nation could never be able to solve its multiple problems, he added.
Meanwhile, the JI Azad Kashmir Chief Abdur Rashid Turabi, called on the JIP chief in Islamabad and apprised him of New Delhi’s plan to change 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 clear violation of the spirit of the UN resolutions on Kashmir. He impressed upon 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. He also stressed that the upcoming elections in Azad Kashmir should be free and transparent.
Meanwhile Ameer, JI Senator Sirajul Haq, has called upon the federal government and the Pakistani embassy in India to play their role in the release of the Pakistani boy presently lodged at a police station in Rajasthan, India.
In a statement here on Thursday, he said that the boy named Ismail had been kidnapped from Charsada in 2014 at the age of 6 or seven and sent to India. It had now been learnt that the boy was at Ganga Ram police station in Rajasthan and in police custody. However, he said, there seemed to be government effort for the release and repatriation of the innocent boy.-Sabah
