KARACHI: JI criticises govt policy

Published October 4, 2008

KARACHI, Oct 3: President of the Jamaat-i-Islami’s Sindh chapter Asadullah Bhutto has observed that the anti-people policies of the previous government have not changed although the government has changed.

Speaking at an Eid Millan reception in Gulshan-i-Iqbal on Friday, the JI leaders said that the previous government’s policies had increased the obstacles in the way of mitigating sufferings of the masses.

“Growing unemployment, hunger, lawlessness and bomb blasts are the outcome of the same policies under which logistic support was extended to United States in its so-called war on terrorism,” he said.—Staff Reporter
