Speakers at a seminar organised by the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) at Mansoora on Monday, appealed to the Supreme Court (SC) to take action against people responsible for destruction of the country’s economy.
JI Secretary General Liaqat Baloch chaired the seminar while former federal finance minister Dr Salman Shah, former FBR member Sarfraz Khan and Farid Paracha attended the event. The speakers said that the inflation and unemployment were the gifts of capitalism, which was breathing its last and the Muslim world could salvage humanity by establishing a common market and properly utilising its vast resources. Liaqat said that the interest-based economic system was the root cause of economic destruction. He said that according to the 1973 constitution, the country’s economy would be made interest free within 10 years but capitalists were busy in exploitation and got a stay order from the SC but the apex court did not vacate the stay despite appeals of the Federal Shariat Court and the Islamic Ideological Council.
