KARACHI, Oct 5: Jamaat-i-Islami deputy chief Prof Ghafoor Ahmad has said that people are awaiting implementation of a changed system which was the verdict of February 18 elections in the country.

Speaking at an Eid Milan party in Liaquatabad, arranged by the local chapter of his party, he said that in the earlier set-up Pervez Musharraf had all the powers and now the same were with President Asif Ali Zardari.

He said the only difference was that Musharraf had never accepted becoming the president of the Q-League while Zardari had the distinction of being the head of the state and his party chief at the same time.

He said all decisions were being taken now outside the parliament. Like Musharraf, he said, Mr Zardari had gone far ahead in appeasing the US president by saying that the policies of Mr Bush had made the world safer.

“Is Zaradri not aware that scores of Muslims were killed in Waziristan by the bombing of the US warplanes and poverty in the country had risen so much that a father had committed suicide only because he could not arrange new clothes for his children on Eid,” Prof Ghafoor said.

He said people would reject today’s rulers in the same way as they had rejected Pervez Musharraf in the February 18 elections.

JI leader Dr Mairaj-ul-Huda Siddiqui said that the world was witnessing the crumbling of the US economy which, he said, was based on usury.

He said the Jewish economy was taking its last breaths as usury system of economy has failed to solve problems of human beings.
