Jamaat-e-Islami Emir, Senator Sirajul Haq has said that his party is not part of the ‘political Biryani’ and is playing the role of real opposition in the country.

Speaking here on Sunday, the JI emir said, “They (other opposition parties) are not fighting with the government for education, health, jobs or against price hike. They are fighting for power and their turn in the government,” Sirajul Haq said.

If Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) really want to see collapse of the government, they should resign and come out of the assemblies, the JI chief said. “The JI will tender resignations on the day when these opposition parties will resign,” he said.

“The PPP and the PML-N should not further betray the people,” JI chief said. The ratio of corruption and bribery has increased in this government, he said. “Prime Minister should arrest flour, sugar and drug mafias if he wants to control price hike,” Sirajul Haq suggested.

He said the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has been playing hide and seek with the governments since 2008 and the government is sucking blood from masses on the orders of the FATF. “It is our national duty to get rid of the exploitative system and the status quo,” the JI chief said.

Sirajul Haq said his party will launch its movement against price hike, unemployment and interest based system from November 1st. In an earlier statement, the JI chief said that his party will launch its protest movement from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
