LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Ameer Senator Sirajul Haq said on Thursday that corrupt rulers and their henchmen should be put in Adiala jail.
Addressing a public meeting at Karak, Haq said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif should leave his office.
“Mr prime minister, there are some political norms. The nation is demanding your resignation and you should not make the investigations against you controversial by sticking to your office,” he said.
“The rulers have not only plundered the national wealth, but also sold out national honour by handing over Dr Aafia Siddiqui and Eimal Kansi to foreign governments,” he said.
The JI chief said that the present system had given nothing to the masses and the nation was not ready to tolerate this system any more. “There is no semblance of democracy in the political parties of the country except the JI,” he said.
He said that the rulers believed that by building a few bridges and roads, they had put the country on the path of progress. “The problems of the masses could be solved with the enforcement of the Shariah, which alone ensures socio-economic justice,” he said.
