Jamaat-e-Islami chief Sirajul Haq Sunday said that the government’s honeymoon period was over and it was time to deliver on its promises.
Addressing a ceremony, Siraj said the government had made one announcement after another but it was time to deliver rather than making announcements.
The JI leader lamented that the ministers were fighting among themselves and passing statements against each other. “The government’s philosophy is to take U-turns,” Siraj remarked.
Criticising the ongoing drive against encroachments in Karachi and Lahore, Siraj said there was no justice in carrying out the operation while being deaf and blind to the plight of the poor.
“Six thousand homes have been demolished in the name of anti-encroachment drive,” he pointed out, adding that the spaces razed by the authorities were leased out to the public. The government had announced to provide relief to the people, yet it has failed to do so, the JI chief added.
