Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Emir Sirajul Haq said on Thursday that corruption and poor governance had harmed the country’s economy.

Expressing his thoughts in Lahore, the JI chief said, “Every citizen is having concerns about the ballooning inflation and unrest prevailing in the country. Those who deceived the nation will be held accountable in the upcoming elections".

Taking a jibe at the opponents, Haq said: “The rulers have no narrative in line with the upcoming elections. The rulers want more terms, but they should first point out their contributions for the sake of the masses.”

“It is mandatory to follow the country’s ideology to uphold peace, development, and prosperity,” he added.
