LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Sirajul Haq, flaying the government’s move to privatise national entities, has said that the ruling capitalists and feudal lords are selling out important national institutions to their favourites.
He said this, while addressing a workers convention at Railways carriage workshop Mughalpura as chief guest. Siraj said that the JI would not allow the government to sell these national entities and would raise the voice for the workers’ right at every forum.
Sirajul Haq said that the government, instead of providing jobs to the people, is trying to snatching the last morsel of food from the poor. He said it was the duty of the rulers to rehabilitate the institutions running in losses, as their privatization was not the answer.
The JI chief warned that if those living in palaces tried to deprive the poor of their basic rights, their palaces would also not be safe. He said it was a pity that the present rulers had been in power for nearly two years, but they had neither implemented their election manifesto nor given any labour policy.
The capitalists sitting in the assemblies were least concerned with the problems of the poor or in their solution. The JI chief stressed that the workers must have a share in the profits of the industries and the produce from the lands.
He urged the workers and the general public to join the JI for the enforcement of the Islamic system, and added that as long as the just Islamic system was not enforced, the present system based on exploitation and tyrannical system would prevail.
