JI leader Sirajul Haq said that the government that was formed in the “middle of the night” was not something new in the country.

“The reign of two families was established, that are imposed on the country for the past three decades,” he said, claiming that this “company” was responsible for inflation, unemployment, and all other challenges Pakistan was facing today.

“Their past, the tales of their corruption are in front of the nation,” he said. “Therefore, I am thankful to the nation for trusting JI more than they did in the past.”
