QUETTA: Jamaat-e-Islami Provincial Ameer Maulana Abdul Haq Hashmi has said that the federal government lacks interest in resolving public problems, eliminating corruption and giving rights to Balochistan.

He also said ordinances were being patronized by corrupt elements and that the gas crisis, unemployment and corruption were on the rise in Balochistan, adding that no relief was being provided to the people by the federal government.

Maulana Hashmi was addressing the inaugural session of the first Provincial Council meeting. Members of the Shura, provincial leaders and provincial organizers also attended the meeting.

Abdul Haq Hashmi further said that the elimination of inflation and unemployment was not a priority of the government.

"Only empty promises and unrealistic claims are being made and the acquisition of heavy interest loans remains the only target of the government", he said.

For this reason, he said, the country's industrialists, traders and well-educated investors had decided to go abroad which was worrisome.

Attention should be given to the development of Balochistan, he added.

"The Jamaat-e-Islami had boosted the nation's pride by supporting the principles of government, not the government itself", Maulana Hashmi said.

The implementation plan for 2020 was approved during the meeting and a previous report submitted. The overall situation in the province was also reviewed on the occasion.

Addressing the meeting, Hashmi said that the government had sprinkled salt on the Kashmiris’ wounds instead of applying balm.

He insisted that the country must be run in accordance with its Islamic ideals to end conspiracies, adding that the government would have to change its own destiny.

He said that the government had not provided relief to the poor and that the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) employees could not run the country with heavy interest loans which was only a way for the nation to get stuck in the swamp of slavery.

"The government will have to take steps based on truth and policy”, he said, adding "No policy or action will be tolerated against the ideology of the country.”
