Jamat-e-Islami (JI) leader Sirajul Haq has recommended that the government and opposition appoint Dr Abdul Qadir Khan for the position of caretaker prime minister.

While addressing a rally in Karak, Sirajul Haq said Dr Abdul Qadir should be made caretaker prime minister as he possess a neutral personality.

"Dr Qadir has made Pakistan an Islamic atomic power which is a stupendous and unforgettable feat," he said.

The Jamat-e-Islami ameer said that General (rtd) Pervez Musharraf earlier came under US pressure and placed restrictions on Dr Abdul Qadir Khan and kept him under house arrest while India held the prestige of its atomic scientist and made him the president.

"There is a need to redress Musharraf’s injustice and repay Dr Abdul Qadir Khan’s virtue for the nation by honouring him."

He further said, "I congratulate Xi Jinping for taking the presidency charge once again. I expect that a new era of progression and happiness will begin under his leadership".

Sirajul Haq also called Pakistan Super League a good omen for Pakistan and said that the country will get a chance to witness a great game and good entertainment.

He said that the masses hold the power of votes and the next elections will be days of accountability for corrupt leaders. Pakistan's condition cannot get better till there's presence of the corrupt clique in the assemblies, he maintained.

K-P Senator Mushtaq Ahmed Khan also addressed the rally. Social and political leaders announced joining Jamaat-e-Islami along with scores of their companions and families.

Sirajul Haq said that consultations were underway for the position of caretaker prime minister. Hence, it is better to appoint a neutral personality who has rendered remarkable services for the country.

"The nation does not see anyone more deserving for the post than Dr Abdul Qadir Khan. Hence, I demand the opposition and the government to appoint Dr Abdul Qadir Khan as a caretaker premier," he concluded saying.
