Chief of Jamaat-e-Islami, Sirajul Haq has said that the NAB chairman is talking of speediest accountability but not ready to do anything practical in this regard. While addressing the participants of the JI central workshop at Mansoora on Tuesday, he said that the Accountability Courts should conduct speedy trials and announce punishments so that the situation would become clear.

Sirajul said that the ousted prime minister is trying to make the courts a party so that whatever confidence the courts have among the people may also lose.

He said the rulers are saying that the masses are not getting justice, the educational institutions are without education and the hospitals are without heath facilities, however, he said, the rulers are not ready to admit that they themselves are responsible for poverty, illiteracy, injustice, lawlessness and unemployment.

He said if the parties who had been in power for three to four decades are talking about the common problems of the masses, they must admit that they themselves are to be blamed for all this.

The JI chief said that the government wanted to become a political martyr but this time, its desire might not be fulfilled. He said that the technocrats' government was merely a presumption and was being talked about by the government circles from time to time with the desire to achieve martyrdom.

Continuing, Sirajul Haq said that the Election Commission would have to ensure electoral reforms before the 2018 elections and all those who had been named in the Panama leaks, those who had devoured huge bank loans or availed any NRO must not be allowed to contest the elections.

He said that the path of the cheats and plunderers to the assemblies would have to be blocked in order to fair and free elections. He said that as long as the elections remained the game of the billionaires, an honest middle class man can not think of winning the election.
