MARDAN: Jamaat-i-Islami chief Senator Sirajul Haq said here on Sunday that both the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) and the incumbent government of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf had entered a blind alley and had no solution to the masses problems.

He said this while addressing a public meeting held at Mukam Chowk here on Mardan-Malakand road.

The JI chief said that the government was buying petrol at Rs64 per litre and selling the same to general public at Rs111. He asked the people to join hands with Jamaat-i-Islami to bring Islamic revolution so as to get rid of the corrupt rulers and bring a system of justice in the country.

Sirajul Haq said that despite their 950 days in power so far Prime Minister Imran Khan and his ministers had failed to deliver as they did not fulfil their promises made with masses during the general elections.

“The PTI government was imposed in the shape of a big disease on Islamabad which has been spreading more diseases across the country and if not combated timely it will ruin the country and its economy,” the JI chief alleged.

He said that the prime minister had admitted before public that they had come into power without any preparations. He alleged that the PTI had come into power with the support of local and international establishments.

Sirajul Haq claimed that the relevant officials of Indus River System Authority had told him that water of Rs600 billion was being wasted owing to negligence of the incumbent rulers.

He said that on the one side the rulers were taking loans from IMF on very tough conditions, on the other they were not making any effective planning to save the water worth billions of rupees.

He said that children of poor people were facing starvation-like situation while the dog of Sindh governor was roaming on roads in an expensive vehicle.

Party’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief Senator Mushtaq Ahmad, provincial secretary general Abdul Wasi, MNA Maulana Abdul Akbar Chitrali, district chief Ghulam Rasool, district vice chief Waqar Khan and a number of party activists attended the public meeting.
