LANDIKOTAL: Jamat-e-Islami(JI) central Naib Ameer Liaqat Baloch on Friday said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf failed to deliver as took a vote on the slogan of change. Still, the government had taken a loaf of bread from the mouths of poor citizens.
JI Naib Ameer Liaqat Baloch was speaking to a public gathering in Sadukhel village of Landikotal. He said Prime Minister Imran Khan has given the country the mercy of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). He said Pakistan’s economy was shrinking while Imran Khan and his cabinet members lived a luxurious life.
Liaqat Baloch asked the PTI-led government to fulfill the pledge with the tribal people and issue 100 billion rupees for the development of tribal districts. He said soon JI would launch a countrywide protest against corrupt eliminates and price hikes. He said the establishment should address people’s grievances rather than impose corrupt officials who suck blood from Pakistani citizens.
“When PTI came into power, lawlessness, corruption, injustice, and poverty were further deep-rooted in Pakistan, which severely affected everyday life”, said the JI leader. Adding that those who created flour and other edible crises in Pakistan were sitting in parliament with the ruling party.
He said Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam(F) chief Fazlur Rehman had admitted that he was deceived by PPP and PML-N leaders. The trust deficit between political parties gave free rein to PTI to play with the lives of Pakistanis. He said bad governance had become a bone of contention that irked life in the country.
Liaqat Baloch said the independence of Indian-occupied Kashmir was due to the government and army, as innocent Kashmiris looked for their help.
JI leader asked Afghan citizens they stop fighting as war never ends with prosperity, but it always leaves destruction and poverty. He said peace in Afghanistan was inevitable for peace in Pakistan. He said the Afghan nation should decide its own fate, and other countries must stop using their proxies to prolong the war in Afghanistan.
He said tribals were still being stopped at check posts and body searched, and asked which was condemnable.
JI leaders Abdul Basit, Haji Miqtadar Khan Afridi, and Murad Hussain also spoke on the occasion.
