Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Emir Sirajul Haq said on Saturday that he will eliminate usury if voted into power.
Expressing his thoughts from NA-143 in Chichawatni, Haq said, ‘’The system of usury has severely damaged the country’s economy. The country cannot lead to prosperity without ending the usury.’’
‘’It is up to the masses to vote for the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). But if the masses want to end the usury from the country, then they should cast votes for the JI,’’ Haq maintained.
Underscoring the importance of improving the health and education sectors, Haq vowed to ‘’bid farewell’’ to the VIP culture.
‘’It is the topmost priority of the JI to end unemployment in the country,’’ the JI chief said.
– JI 'best option' for voters –
Haq said on Thursday that his party was the "best option" for the masses to cast votes in the forthcoming elections.
Expressing his thoughts in Lahore, Haq took a jibe at the political opponents, saying, "The former ruling parties had embraced the politics revolving around the foul language. The rule in this country merely revolves around staging dynastic politics."
"The corrupt rulers cannot be bearable in democratic countries. It has been a long time since the politics of the country revolved around the NRO. The politics could have been cleansed if Articles 62 and 63 had been followed," Haq lamented.
