‘All probes into corruption lead to the PM House!’

Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami Munawar Hasan has said that Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani had no moral right to remain in power after the Supreme Court notices issued to his son Ali Musa Gilani in the billion dollar chemicals scam, and he should voluntarily step down.
In a statement here on Wednesday, he said the probe into every corruption scandal was leading to the Prime Minister House. He said Ali Musa Gilani who had earlier been accused in the Hajj scandal had been a free man while the Hajj Minister Hamid Saeed Kazmi was behind the bars. Now the Supreme Court had issued notices to Ali Musa Gilani in the chemicals scam but he had flown abroad for honey moon and efforts were being made to hush up the matter.
Hasan said in the democratic societies, whenever the head of the state or government or his children were accused of corruption, he had no constitutional and or moral right to remain in power. There were dozens of precedents when the president or the Prime Minister was accused, they resigned immediately. But unfortunately, Pakistan was the only country where the leaders claimed to be democrats but their actions did not conform to their words. Corruption moved from top to bottom to the extent that even the sacred field of Hajj was not spared and there had been corruption of billions there too.
It was an irony, he said, that while the poor and common people were thrown in jails for minor crimes, the influential people plundering billions moved freely and the law enforcement agencies did not dare to put hands on them.
The JI Ameer said the present rulers had secured loans amounting to trillions from the IMF and the local banks but no facilities were extended to the common man. On the other hand, the people were being burdened by the oppressive Fuel Adjustment Charge and the prices of POL and gas and electricity were raised every week. He was sure that the days of the rulers were numbered and they were fast nearing accountability.
