ISLAMABAD: Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Emir Sirajul Haq has said the PTI government has nothing on its credit except gifting people with inflation and unemployment and burdening the country with massive debts.

Addressing a press conference at JI Deputy Chief Mian Muhammad Aslam’s residence here on Thursday, Sirajul Haq announced to lead protest demonstration of unemployed youth in the federal capital on October 31. The prime minister, he said, claimed to provide 10 million jobs rather he rendered millions jobless. Brain drain was at peak as skilled individuals were leaving the country finding no job opportunities here, he regretted, holding the government responsible for the problem. The PTI, he said, brought the economy on the verge of collapse due to flawed policies.

“I appeal to the youth not to lose hope rather make a stand against injustice and be the part of JI to transform Pakistan into a welfare Islamic state.”

The government, said Sirajul Haq, only facilitated mafias in three years and they made billions of rupees by creating sugar, flour, medicines and other fake crises. The mafias, he said, was working as team members of the prime minister, who failed to take action against them despite tall claims. He ruled out any possibility of fair investigations into the persons named in Pandora Papers. He said the prime minister investigation cell was instead created to facilitate those who stashed their money in shell companies. He said those who were named in Panama and Pandora leaks were members of the three mainstream political parties.

Sirajul Haq said the JI would knock the door of the apex court and would raise the issue at all other forums for fair inquiry into the Panama and Pandora leaks. He said the JI would fight the case of people at every forum, from streets to parliament and courts. He said the PTI proved the agent of the status quo forces and it disappointed the people badly. Now, he added, the nation left with no option but to vote for the JI to bring real change.
