Present Govt creating new crises : Munawar Hasan

LAHORE, August 08, 2011 (PPI): The Jamaat e Islami chief, Syed Munawar Hasan, has said that the present government has proved to be the mother of crises and the solution of even a single crisis was nowhere in sight.

The country is full of problems but the rulers do not seem to be serious in solving any of these as all their energies are being spent on plunder and in protecting their kith and kin involved in corruption, he said, while talking to different delegations at Mansoora, on Monday.

The JI chief said, the worst type of dictatorship was in force in the country under the garb of democracy and certain parties and groups in the government were trying to achieve selfish ends by blackmailing the PPP. Even the Supreme Court decisions were being flouted to protect certain individuals, he said.

The country, he said, was facing a serious energy crisis and scores of industrial units had been closed down due to loadshedding. Agriculture had also been ruined. The prices of POL, electricity and gas were being raised every month, adding to the worries of the common man. On the other hand, the luxurious living of the rulers was continuing.

He especially referred to the plight of the Railways. He said that all over the world, railways were progressing but the railway in this country had been destroyed. The government schools were in bad shape as no body was attending to these.

In Karachi, the blood letting was continuing even during Ramadan and about a dozen people were being gunned down every day.

Syed Munawar Hasan said that a new confrontation had been started on the issue of new provinces and divergent views were being expressed on this issue to divert public opinion from the real issues.

The present government, he said, would be completing its three years in power soon and Almighty Allah alone knew what greater disaster it would bring in its next two years.
