Most privileged Judiciary stands 129 in global ranking: Amir Jamat -e-Islami
Lahore: Sirajul Haq, the Amir of Jamaat-e-Islami, highlighted concerns over Pakistan's judiciary, ranking 129th globally in performance. He asserted that the top ten in privileges are the judiciary, expressing that the corrupt elite involved in cases like Panama and Tosha Khana contribute to inflation, pushing ten million Pakistanis below the poverty line. Haq attributed the economic crisis to the corrupt Ashrafiya, labeling them as the land and diesel mafia.
Speaking in Lahore, Haq emphasized the World Bank's assessment, stating that Pakistan's situation is a result of the corrupt Ashrafiya, with loans failing to reach the poor. He called for a change in the dysfunctional economic model, accusing the corrupt Ashrafiya of undermining institutions, including the judiciary, legislature, and industries.
Addressing the upcoming elections, Haq declared Jamaat-e-Islami's commitment to a new approach, fielding candidates in 222 National Assembly constituencies and over 500 provincial assembly seats, with a focus on youth representation. He vowed to end the monarchy of individuals and families on February 8, unveiling the election symbol of scales.
