Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Emir Sirajul Haq on Wednesday labelled the youth as the “saviour” of the country.

Expressing his thoughts in Lahore, Haq said: “The masses should held the looters accountable through the power of vote.”

He asked the masses to “bury the politics of status quo” in the upcoming general elections.

Taking a dig at political opponents, Siraj ul Haq remarked, 'From acquiring loans to nation-building, tales of corruption abound in every aspect.”

Haq also took an indirect jibe at the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), saying, “The masses’ time had also been wasted under the guise of tabdeeli.”

– Rulers carrying on 'legacy' of East India Company –

Few days back, Haq assailed the political opponents on Wednesday, asserting the rulers are carrying on the "legacy" of the East India Company.

Addressing the convention in Peshawar, Haq took a swipe at former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari. ‘’The PPP had ruled the country for four terms.”

‘’The PML-N had come to power on a regular basis,” he added.

Speaking about self-accountability, Haq said, “I am ready for self-accountability in 2023. Nawaz Sharif, Shehbaz, and Asif Ali Zardari should also be ready for self-accountability.”

“Those who had put the burden of loans on the masses are now once again trying to impose themselves on the masses,” Haq said.
