Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Emir Sirajul Haq on Friday assailed the incumbent government, saying it only knows to kowtow to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Expressing his thoughts in Lahore, Haq said: "The premier has united the chief ministers of the four provinces and decided to kowtow to the international lender."
Haq said: "The upcoming four months will be even more challenging."
"We will show resistance if the burden of inflation is put on the masses," he added.
Taking a swipe at the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Haq said: "The PML-N and PPP had vowed during the election campaign to provide 300 units of free electricity to the masses. But contrary, the price of power further witnessed a hike."
– Siraj warns against privatisation of state institutions –
Few days back, Haq warned against the privatisation of state institutions.
Expressing his thoughts, Haq took a jibe at the incumbent government, saying, “The government is holding talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on more slavery rather than securing the next tranche.”
“The privatisation of state institutions is unfair to the masses. The country’s economy cannot afford the privatisation,” Haq said.
He urged the global community to play a role in the Gaza ceasefire.
