LAHORE: Amir Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Senator Sirajul Haq holding the ruling party responsible for the political unrest has stressed the need for a dialogue between the government and opposition to strengthen the democracy in the country.
Talking to a delegation of the JI Karachi chapter who called on him at Mansoora on Wednesday, Sirajul Haq said the cabinet shuffle was not a solution to the government’s ineptitude as the tactics would not be proved helpful to bring about any change which the PTI had claimed to introduce after coming into power.
The PTI government, he said, proved itself a status quo having the same feudal lords and capitalists in its ranks which were the part of the every former regime.
He said the rulers disappointed the masses and became unpopular in a short timeframe, breaking records of all former governments. He said people had started praying to get rid of this government and if the situation remained same they would be left with no option but to take to the street to overthrow this regime.
The JI Chief said that a government that could not perform and please the people was unlikely to complete its five-year term. Therefore, he added, the rulers must show seriousness and take urgent steps to provide relief to the masses badly hit by inflation and unemployment. The government and opposition, he suggested, should start dialogue to strengthen the democracy and introduce reforms in the judiciary and election commission.
Siraj expressed concern over the problems faced by the people of Karachi. He said the port city which once was called “the city of lights” now turned into a heap of garbage. Millions of Karachities were become patients and could not breathe due to pollution, he added. The repeated governments, he said, desperately failed to improve the living standard of the people of the metropolitan.
