The Sunni Tehreek will save every inch of the country from the elements that are befooling the nation in the name of democracy, Sunni Tehreek President Sarwat Ejaz Qadri said, adding that the way of corrupt leadership putting the country into serious debt of foreign loans will also be stopped.
Sarwat Qadri, while addressing the ‘Azad Pakistan Conference’ held at Minar-e-Pakistan on Sunday, announced the launching a new political movement meant to make Pakistan a welfare state. He said the so-called champions of democracy had deceived the nation in the names of 18th, 19th, 20th Amendments and had put every Pakistani child under a debt of at least Rs 71,000 rupees for their own pursuits.
Qadri said the ST would serve Pakistan per the commitment of the elders who gathered at the same venue in 1940 to pass historic Pakistan resolution.
He said it was high time that Pakistan be saved from elements living in and outside it and conspiring against it.
He went on to say that ST would put an end to the politics of fraud, deception and would follow the footmarks of those who struggled for achieving Pakistan.
Vowing to make Pakistan a welfare state, Qadri also said in order to end negative traits in politics, religious and political parties needed to join hands.
He said anti-state and extremist elements were active in political forces whose agenda was to tarnish the image of Pakistan besides creating a divide among people which was not acceptable at any cost. He also said political parties had become family fief and ST would not accept it.
Meanwhile ST members and their allies presented and passed several resolutions on this occasion, which included: Reversing Pakistan position’s on giving MFN status to India, bringing Pervez Musharraf in a court of law for prosecution in Akbar Bugti’s assassination, declaring of unscheduled load shedding of electricity and gas and adopting discriminatory attitude with Punjab on this count was against the national interest.
They demanded through another resolution that the government should resign, as it had failed to control unemployment and price-hike, besides demanding immediate release of Hamid Saeed Kazmi who they believe was innocent and was framed in a fake case.
They condemned target killings in Karachi and Balochistan through yet another resolution, besides demanding of the Punjab government to give the portfolio of health to a capable person to contain the incidents of deaths due to spurious medicines and dengue epidemic. They warned the government through another resolution for taking a decision of their choice if the government failed to arrest the culprits involved in suicide attacks on shrines and assassinated Dr Sarfaraz Hussain Naeemi.
The participants of the conference demanded through a resolution that the gang war between Sindh government backed groups and land mafia should end, warning that the people would not sit silently anymore, besides release of Mumtaz Hussain Qadri through yet another resolution.
Other leaders of ST also addressed the conference and hailed late Allama Sarfaraz Naeemi and Mumtaz Qadri.
