LAHORE: Pakistan Jamaat-e-Islami chief Senator Sirajul Haq has said that the country urgently required a long-term planning for economic progress and to create job opportunities for the masses.
Inaugurating a medical college at Timargarah on Monday, he said that long-term plans were required to meet the needs of the future generations independent of the IMF, especially because Saudi Arabia was also closing its doors for the Pakistani labour.
The JI chief termed the Timergara Medical College a gift for the local people and their coming generations. He added that classes in the college would start soon and benefit the residents of Lower and Upper Dir, Chitral, Malakand and Bajaur agencies.
He said that education had been banned in Dir during the era of the Nawab which ended in 1969, and during a short period, there had been sufficient progress in the sphere of education. He added that the medical college had been a dream that had been realised through the efforts of the JI assembly members.
Sirajul Haq further said the Blambat irrigation and Koto Hydel Power Projects were also being completed due to the efforts of the JI legislators. He added that the politics of Nawaz Sharif had come to an end and the politics of other artificial leaders would die out soon.
Reiterating his demand for across the board accountability, the JI chief said that the country could not progress without the accountability of different mafias sitting in the corridors of power. He added that the JI when it comes to power, would provide free education and would also pay the dues of the students in private educational institutions.
