RAWALPINDI - Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) Central Secretary General Liaquat Baloch has demanded a broad-based national government comprising of representatives from all political parties since the present government has lost its credibility and confidence of the people. He further asked the Government to constitute an independent and free Election Commission by giving financial and administrative autonomy to it so that fair and transparent elections could be held in the country. Liaquat Baloch stated this while addressing a press conference at Al-Ikram building, District Headquarters of JI here on Saturday. Punjab Naib Ameer of Jamaat and Ex MNA Mian Muhammad Aslam, Provincial Secretary Nazir Ahmed Janjua, District Ameer Rawalpindi Raja Abdul Waheed, City Secretary General Shamas-ur-Rehman Swati, Brig(R) Abdul Qayum, and Malik Azam were also present on the occasion. Central Secretary General JI alleged that engineered polls in Gilgit-Baltistan had proved that the Government was not able to hold fair and impartial elections in Pakistan. He added that rigging in the Gilgit-Baltistan elections was at such a large scale that all the political parties including MQM, which is the 'master of fixing elections, had raised their voices against the rigging and even India was making fun of our Government on these rigged elections. He said that PPP and PML-N had differences on the Balochistan package and the confidence of Baloch people may be restored by tracing out all the missing persons. If Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari could return to the country then why could the self-exiled leadership of Balochistan not be repatriated to their country, Liaquat Baluch said. He was of the view that both PML-N and PPP had disappointed the Baloch people and by the kid-play tricks, the situation in province could not be improved without expressing seriousness towards the important issues. The nationalist leaders of Balochistan have shown confidence in the leadership of Nawaz Sharif by joining the APDM but he left them alone and contested elections despite their boycott from the alliance, he remarked. He said that trial against former President Pervez Musharraf should be initiated in Supreme Court for murder of Nawab Akbar Bugti as well as under Article 6 of the constitution. Liaquat Baloch said that the PML(N)-led Punjab Government should announce the date for bye-elections in four constituencies of the province including Rawalpindi, Lahore, Jhang, and Bahawalpur. He said that the entire country is in a state of resentment on terrorism and as a matter of fact, anti Pakistan elements are behind these acts of sabotage. It is high time that the rulers should take prudent verdicts and change their foreign and internal policy, Liaquat maintained. He said that it is the need of the hour to create national harmony against joint enemy. Now the people of the country are facing dual types of problems, one is about the integrity and the second is poor financial position of the country.
