Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Amir Senator Sirajul Haq has declared the prime minister’s remarks about the health of Nawaz Sharif as inappropriate, saying the comments raise questions on the mental health of the PTI chairman. Addressing the “JI Youth Leadership Convention” at Mansoora on Sunday, Siraj said it was the official medical board which declared Nawaz condition in danger and later the government itself allowed the former prime minister to go abroad for the treatment. So, he said, if the prime minister was kept in darkness about the health of elder Sharif and was not properly informed about the real picture, it strengthened the belief that the country’s chief executive had no control over his own team and affairs of the government, he added. Senator Siraj said that the prime minister was only issuing non-serious statements to divert the attention of the masses from the real issue. In fact, he said, the government badly exposed in past 15 months due to zero performance in every field. On one side, he said, it handed over the country to IMF and on the other side it betrayed the people of Kashmir. The performance of the rulers, he said, was also become a matter of embarrassment for those who backed them to come to the power. The JI chief said the IMF dictated economic policies were tantamount to hit the poor and middle class and benefit the already elite and affluent class. He said the feudal and capitalists had been ruling over the country for seven decades and they become the part of every government. Their sole objective, he said, was to plunder the country’s resources and stashed the money in foreign banks. He said the PTI which came to the power on the slogan of “accountability for all” betrayed the people and proved the agent of same elite and corrupt mafia. He said thousands of educated youth lost their jobs since July 2018 and millions were turned desperate and frustrated finding no employment opportunities in government and private sector. Saying the JI was the only hope of the young generation, Siraj asked the participants to start preparation for the election as the real change would soon come to the country in form of the Jamaat-e-Islami. JI Central Punjab chapter Emir Javid Kasuri and JI Youth Pakistan President Zubair Gondal also addressed the gathering.
