LAHORE: Jamaat-i-Islami Emir Sirajul Haq says former prime minister Imran Khan has right to appeal in Toshakhana case, calling for transparent and across-the-board accountability of all those individuals who had taken home the precious presents from foreign dignitaries, causing a loss of billions to the national kitty.

Talking to newsmen after addressing a book launch event at Mansoora on Saturday, he said the country could not move forward in an environment of selected accountability.

When the JI would come into power, it would make answerable every powerful including politicians, judges and generals to the law, he said.

The launching ceremony of JI naib emir Dr Farid Ahmad Paracha’s book “Meray rahnuma meray hamnawa” was also addressed by veteran politician Javed Hashmi, Liaqat Baloch and Ameerul Azim.

Sirajul Haq said first the PTI and later the PDM and the PPP governments were imposed through political engineering, fearing the same would happen in future.
