KARACHI: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Sirajul Haq has said that a socio-political system based on the teachings of Holy Prophet (PBUH) is the only way forward for the country.
Addressing the ‘Ittehad-e-Umaat Convention’ jointly organised by the Jamiat Ittehad Ulema and the JI Karachi, the JI chief stressed the need of unity among clerics to launch massive struggle to bring Islamic system to the country. Talking about the political issues in the country, he said that majority of institutions had been manipulated by the corrupt ruling regimes. “The institutions of accountability have been collapsed,” he said, adding that the National Accountability Bureau chairman should be appointed by the higher judiciary, instead of politicians. Referring to the NA-120 by-election, Siraj said that it was ‘selection instead of election’. He said that electoral process could be influenced with the help of money but hearts of people could only be won through solid character. He criticised the international community as well as the Muslim block for their “apathy” to the plight of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar.
