Jamaat e Islami Ameer 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 that 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 making a mockery of 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.
JI Deputy Chief Rashid Naseem has said that the present ruling elite, whether civil or former military dictators, could not deliver anything to the country.
Addressing the plans implementation committee meeting at Mansoora on Saturday, he said that only an honest leadership could steer the country out of the present crisis and added that the JI alone could provide that leadership as had been acknowledged by the Supreme Court.
Rashid Naseem asked how could the political parties which did not have democracy in their own ranks, give a democratic system to the country. He said that although the JI was not in power, yet it was running numerous projects of public welfare and relief. The JI had thousands of dedicated workers who were serving the general public and the needy only with the aim to please Allah.
