Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Secretary General (SG) Liaquat Baloch strongly criticised the raise in electricity tariff and the reports of a fresh mini budget soon with new taxes on Thursday.
Talking to the media at the funeral of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Central Leader Ejaz Ahmed Chaudhry’s father, he said that PTI had promised a change but the change it had brought was in the form of price spiral, rise in unemployment, increase in uncivilised behaviour and loose talk, besides numerous un-parliamentary practices.
The JI SG said the PTI government had intentionally given the idea of midterm elections in order to divert public attention from its incompetence and failures. However, he said that the masses wanted the elected government to solve their problems.
JI SG Liaqat Baloch said the function of the accountability courts was to decide corruption cases but the corrupt elements in three major political parties were so strong that they were misleading the general public and given an impression of victimisation.
This was because the accountability was selective and the 436 persons named in the Panama leaks were roaming around freely.
