Siraj flays Nawaz for anti-judiciary vitriol

DERA GHAZI KHAN: Nawaz Sharif wants to initiate movement against judiciary which is shameful for him, says Jamaat-i-Islami Emir Sirajul Haq.

Addressing a public meeting here on Sunday, he said: “Pakistan is not a secular country as it was meant for Islamic system of government while Nawaz Sharif contrary to thoughts of founder of Pakistan has said that Pakistan is a liberal and secular state. Despite availing four chances to serve the country, he could not resolve problems of the people.” The JI chief said when he was studying in college in 1985, Mian brothers were rulers and at present after 32 years they are still rulers.

He said the Sharifs had spent 65 per cent of Punjab budget on Lahore while 10 districts of south Punjab remained poor and backward. He said there was no role model in the Pakistani politics; however the Jamaat could provide sane and able leadership to the country.
