Lahore, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 24th Feb, 2018) : Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq, has said that a political party that had been in power for four decades is confronting the judiciary and threatening the accountability institutions only to save an individual which was most shameful.

He was addressing the opening session of the two day leadership workshop of the JI at Mansoora on Saturday. The district heads of the JI from all over the country along with their deputies and Secretaries are attending the workshop which would discuss the forthcoming elections and take stock of the Corruption Free Pakistan drive of the part.

The JI drive against corruption began exactly two years ago on February 24, 2016 with a press conference by the JI chief Sirajul Haq. Speaking on the occasion, Sirajul Haq said that it was unfortunate that instead of curbing corruption, the government was patronizing the corrupt officers and the Punjab government had convened a cabinet meeting to protect the corrupt bureaucrats.

He said that it was the legal and moral duty of the governments to wipe out corruption from the institutions but unfortunately, the rulers were doing just the opposite. Sirajul Haq said the JI was striving for the supremacy of Deen in the country through public support.

He said the JI believed in a change through the ballot because a change brought by force was not lasting. He however said that a meaningful change could not be conceived without eliminating corruption.

He said that the present system of oppression and exploitation could be wiped out only with public support. Sirajul Haq said that the JI was against terrorism of any form and by anyone. However, he said, that terming patriotic groups and welfare institutions as terrorists and taking punitive action against them under US and Indian pressure was undesirable and against national interest.
