RAHIM YAR KHAN: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Ameer Sirajul Haq Saturday kicked off a train march from Rahim Yar Khan railway station against inflation, corruption, and the interest-based economy.
On the occasion, Sirajul Haq said that Jamaat will never leave Pakistani people alone in difficult times, saying from representing the masses in the Parliament to the streets, his party will raise its voice against oppression.
A large number of Jamaat-e-Islami workers were gathered at the RYK railways station. Likewise, a good gathering of JI workers was present at the Khanpur railways station to welcome their leader who has been leading from the front against the ever-increasing inflation.
Addressing the workers at RYK railways station JI Ameer Sirajul Haq said, “Pakistan is ‘burning’ in the hands of the incumbent rulers, reiterating his resolve that the era of IMF slavery would end soon. “Today Pakistan’s future faces similar challenges like Yemen, Libya, and Sri Lanka.”
The JI chief said that both Asian tigers and claimants of the state of Madina (PTI) deceived the masses. And both PDM and PTI have not been giving importance to the people.
Sirajul Haq commenting on the electricity and POL products rise by the coalition government, said that amid 18-hours long load shedding, the per-unit electricity reached R32.
He said that investors and aristocrats have been violating the rights of labourers and farmers. “No government fulfilled the promise of South Punjab province,” he added. He alleged that all three parties who ruled this country sold Kashmir, violated the oath with the tribal people, and imposed an interest-based economy.
JI said despite decades of governments by these parties poverty was still on the rise.
He criticized the price hike of POL products per liter, electricity per unit, and gas prices by the incumbent coalition government as part of what they called ‘tough decisions’, in a bid to provide long-lasting relief to the people.
JI workers in Ahmedpur Sharqia were also present to welcome the train marchers.
