HYDERABAD, June 6: The general secretary of Jamaat-i-Islami, Liaquat Baloch, has alleged that the NRO-infected rulers had sold out sovereignty of the country.

He said they had given nothing to people except for price hike, unemployment, lawlessness, drone attacks and dead bodies during their three and a half year rule.

He said those who had monopolised political parties and imposed personality cult on parties had no right to talk about democracy.

Addressing a public meeting in Kotri on Sunday night, he said that the Jamat-i-Islami believed in an Islamic constitution, democracy and peaceful struggle and it wanted to bring about the change through the power of people.

He said the country could be saved by getting rid of artificial and corrupt leadership.

Mr Baloch said it was due to the wrong policies of the rulers and their corruption that Pakistan had become a hostage at the hands of the World Bank, the IMF and other international agencies.

He said the common man could not arrange two square meals for his family whereas the properties of generals and politicians and their foreign bank accounts were increasing with each passing day.

He alleged that Pakistan had so far spent $65 billion on the American war on terror, but Afghanistan had become a graveyard for American troops.—Bureau
