The Jamaat-e-Islami Amir Syed Munawar Hasan has said that Karachi situation
could be improved only by removing the Sindh Governor, forcing the MQM
to sit on the opposition benches in the Sindh Assembly, putting behind
the bars all law breakers and starting their trial in the law courts.
He was replying to questions at the concluding ceremony of the
Daura-e-Quran organized by the JI women wing on Thursday.
In his on-line address for the ceremony, Syed Munawar Hasan said
that JI fully shared the grief and worries of the Karachi people and
was observing Karachi Solidarity day today (Friday), Juma Tul Wida, to
assure the Karachi people that they were not alone and the whole nation
stood with them in their hour of trial. He was sure that the Solidarity
Day would prove to be the first drop of rain.
In reply to another question, Syed Munawar Hasan said that the JI
would participate in the next elections in a big way and it was in
touch with all other parties and its options were open. However, the
decision in regard to electoral alliance or seat adjustment would be
made at the time of elections.
He said that the coalition government formed after the February 2008
elections had been a total failure as it had added to the problems of
the masses instead of providing them any relief. Unending price hike,
prolonged load shedding and high unemployment besides lawlessness had
made the life of the people miserable while the country’s economy was
on the verge of ruin. The rulers had gone too far in the US slavery.
In Karachi, he said, the game of blood and fire was continuing and
all the three parties in the Sindh ruling alliance were responsible for
that.
He said the law and order all over the country was grim as there was
marked increase in murders, dacoities, loot and plunder. In the Punjab
capital, there were over two dozen incidents of dacoities every day.
The general public was insecure as the entire security force had been
deployed for the security of the rulers. Lakhs of people affected by
the last year floods were without shelter even today.
The JI chief said that the electorate in the country must be made to
understand at the time of the elections that the people and the parties
they had been voting time and again had ditched them and multiplied
their miseries. Therefore, they should be wise enough to change their
voting pattern next time. SANA
