Jamaat-e-Islami ameer Syed Munawar Hasan on Thursday said that had the armed forces and other constitutional institutions of the country remained within their limits and served the nation, the country would not have been facing the current situation.
In a statement issued here, commenting on the emerging situation between the armed forces and other state institutions, the JI ameer said that, undoubtedly, the institutions were under the control of mafias and the stories of their corruption were talk of the town. The country suffered from lawlessness and unrest and the masses were disappointed about their future. The feudal lords and capitalists had usurped the rights of the masses, he said and added that there were separate laws for the haves and the have-nots. People committing minor crimes were behind the bars while those involved in major crimes moved about freely, he said.
Syed Munawar Hasan said that, under these circumstances, the Army Chief’s suggestion to the institutions to function within their limits was pertinent, but the question was whether all these crimes were not happening under the nose of the armed forces. Were the armed forces ignorant of the situation in Karachi and Balochistan? Whether the ISI, the MI and other secret institutions were asleep? The army chief should also take notice of the inefficiency of these institutions, he added. The JI ameer said that the judicial institutions were never allowed to function freely as dictatorial rulers as well as so-called democratic governments had tried hard to curb the judiciary. Former General Pervez Musharraf had sent the entire judiciary packing and set up a judiciary of his own choice under the LFO, thus pushing the country into lawlessness. Amnesty was announced for hardened criminals involved in heinous crimes under the notorious NRO. The present regime throughout its rule, had been in confrontation with the judiciary and the rulers kept on ridiculing the apex court judgments and created every hurdle in the implementation of the court judgments, he went on to say.
He said the security institutions had complete record of the people involved in target killings and abductions for ransom and other serious crimes yet the criminals were part of the Sindh government. He said the army chief should candidly accept that the country was run not by the institutions but by the crime kings, and that there was no one who could lay hands on the big fish.
