First 100 days of PTI were a failure: JI chief
[DAWN] The nation had high hopes from the PTI, but the steps taken so far by the new government has only led to disappointment, said Jamaat-e-Islami... The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independentbranch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... (JI) chief Senator Sirajul Haq  ...current head of the Pak Jamaat-e-Islami. Siraj was born in 1962 and entered politics shortly after that...on Friday. Talking to mediapersons at the residence of party leader Ghiasuddin Balban, he said the first 100 days of the new government were a failure. The JI chief said the rulers talk a lot about bringing improvements to the country’s economy but do not take practical steps. Asked if the PTI government will be able to complete its five-year tenure, Mr Haq said people are upset about massive price hikes and increase in the prices of utilities, especially gas, electricity and petrol within the first 100 days. The senator said there had been no change in protocol rules despite tall claims made pre-election. Condemning the terrorist attacks on the Chinese consulate in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... and in Orakzai, Mr Haq said the recent terror incidents were proof that security agencies had failed to plug the security loopholes. He said the Karachi attack was aimed at putting a dent in Pak-China relations and that he believed foreign elements were involved in the incident. Posted by: Fred 2018-11-24 |
