LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami(JI) Chairman SirajulHaq has said that Pakistan would emerge as a corruption free country in the world after the decision in the Panama leaks case.
He was addressing the participants of the JI central workshop at Mansoora.
Siraj said that Pakistan’s image abroad had been destroyed due to corruption. He added that in principle, it was the government’s responsibility to check fraud and corruption but unfortunately, the country’s rulers were at the top in corruption so, they could not be expected to control the menace. He said that if a few of the big guns were punished for corruption, all others would automatically renounce the evil.
The JI chief said that only an honest and clean leadership could control the menace. However, he said, this required overhauling the electoral system in which the common man could return to the assemblies without spending billions on the election campaign.
SirajulHaq said that the international establishment and the foreign NGOs were at the back of the corrupt mafias. He said that only those guilty of loot and plunder were afraid of accountability.
