SIALKOT: Jamaat-i-Islami Emir Senator Sirajul Haq says his party has presented the name of prominent scientist Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan as caretaker prime minister.

Addressing a public meeting at Sambrial near Sialkot on Sunday, he said: “The Jamaat has okayed and forwarded the name of Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan for the slot of caretaker prime minister of Pakistan.”

Sirajul Haq hoped: “Now, the next turn is of MMA to be in power with the power of the votes by the masses.”

He said the MMA’s top agenda would be to ensure the promotion of ‘Islamic democracy’ and elimination of the western culture as well.

He said the JI would also continue with its nation-wide movement to eliminate corruption from the country, besides making Pakistan an Islamic welfare state as envisaged by the Quaid-i-Azam.
