JI chief Sirajul Haq has said that the people of Pakistan need a government that provides unemployment and old age allowance.

“Anyone who doesn’t have a roof over his head should also be provided with a house,” he added while addressing a party rally in Punjab’s Gujranwala. “An ill person should also be given free medical treatment.”

Haq asserted that all this was possible if the country drifted away from an interest-based system to a charity-based one.
