Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Sirajul Haq has stressed the need for neutrality among three key institutions in Pakistan \u2013 the Supreme Court (SC), the establishment, and the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) \u2013 to save the country.
\nSpeaking in private news channel programme Haq emphasised that solution to the country\u2019s problems lied with the people, but unfortunately the political parties in parliament were only focused on their own issues.
\nHe expressed concern that the issues facing ordinary Pakistanis, farmers, and villagers were being neglected. As a result, he said the people were suffering due to the lack of attention toward their issues.
\n\u201cWe want the future generations to have peace, justice, access to basic necessities like clean water, and a better quality of life in the country, The JI chief stated. \u201cPeople should be allowed to decide their own destiny.\u201d
\nWhen asked about the lack of protest against inflation, Siraj acknowledged that inflation, unemployment, and unrest were significant challenges that had become uncontrollable, and attributed them to the actions of the current rulers.
\nReferring to his meeting with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif last week, he said he underscored the urgency of the situation and the need for addressing the issues before the upcoming elections.
\nHaq expressed the desire for caretaker governments at the Centre and the provinces before holding elections. He warned that if transparent elections were not ensured, the results may not be accepted.
\nThe JI chief noted that leaders from all political parties, including Imran Khan, President Dr Arif Alvi, and Prime Minister Shahbaz, agreed that the country\u2019s situation was dire, but they were hesitant about the way forward.
\nHe also mentioned that there was uncertainty about the future, including the role of the Supreme Court and the establishment, causing stress and tension in the atmosphere.
\nHe emphasised that the top court, the establishment, and the electoral supervisor should remain neutral to save the country, and called on the establishment to prove its neutrality through actions, as it has declared neutrality from politics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
