Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), Senator Sirajul Haq has stressed upon the federal government to review its soft policy towards India in view of New Delhi’s strong reaction over US decision to sell F-16 to Pakistan.

Talking to various delegations which called on him at Mansoora on Sunday, Sirajul Haq said that India had been outraged over the US sale of fighter jets to Pakistan and the US Envoy in New Delhi had been summoned to lodge formal protest over that. On the other hand, he said, the rulers in Islamabad were continuing a soft policy vis a vis India and wanted friendship with that country.

He said that India was amassing arms and ammunition although she faced no threat from any outside power. He said that Pakistan had never committee aggression against India whereas India had thrust two wars on this country and had played the leading role in the creation of Bangladesh of which Indian Premier Modi had publicly confessed.

The JI chief said that Islamabad’s craze for friendship had further emboldened New Delhi. Therefore, he said, it was high time that the Pakistan government reviewed its attitude towardsIndia, gave a befitting reply to India’s threats and stop the trade of onions and potatoes with her.

He slated the alarming increase in medicines including life saving drugs and deplored that the government as well as the opposition were not moved over the decision of the pharmaceutical companies.

Siraj said the JI was launching a country wide campaign against corruption next month. He said that the institution set up to curb corruption was itself full of corruption, adding that the cases against the corrupt people were made so weak that the accused were released by the courts.

He urged the masses to support the JI campaign against corruption so that the country could be cleared of this evil.
