“The political leaders should avoid making provocative statements against each other. The country cannot afford an unending fight among the political parties,” said Haq on Sunday.
The JI’s chief, who is visiting the lower Sindh’s districts to ramp up support for his party, spoke at rallies in Tando Allahyar, Hyderabad, Benazirabad and Matiari districts.
Sirajul Haq – who is also leading the opposition’s Jirga, working for reconciliation among Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and Pakistan Awami Tehreek – appealed to the parties to resume dialogue and seek an end to the crisis.
He also advised the political forces to avoid making judiciary, armed forces and the country’s Constitution controversial.
Reiterating his disapproval for dividing Sindh province into two or more provinces, Haq said the matter had the destructive intensity like an ‘atom bomb’. “I have gone to several cities and rural areas of Sindh and have seen the people’s sentiment against Sindh’s division.”
He offered the JI as an alternate to the age-old leadership of Sindh which, he stressed, has been unrelentingly exploiting the weaker segments of the Sindhi society, the poor people and peasants.
He pledged to introduce a true Islamic system of governance, “where in all laws and rules will be guided by the Holy Quran and Sunnah”.
During his three-day tour, the JI chief visited nine districts and held rallies in each of them. In each of the district, he was welcomed by the local and nationalist parties, besides his supporters.
He also met the Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarian’s Chairman Makhdoom Amin Faheem at his residence in Matiari district to condole over his son’s death.
