F.P. Report
LAHORE: The spokesman of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), Ameer ul Azeem has said that the government has utterly failed to fulfill its primary responsibility of providing basic health facilities to the masses.
Inaugurating a free medical camp at Union Council 115, National Assembly constituency, NA-128 on Sunday, Ameer ul Azeem said that the ruling elite travelled to foreign countries for medical treatment but millions of the countrymen were without basic medical facilities. He said that each bed in the government hospitals in big cities had three to four patients but the rulers were concentrating on building roads and bridges as health and education were not their priority.
Ameer ul Azeem said that there was rapid increase in Hepatitis C and asthma patients, primarily due to the supply of polluted drinking water and the common man did not have the means for their treatment. He said the number of heart patients was also swelling but the Punjab Institute of Cardiology did not have adequate facilities to treat them.
The JI spokesman said that in such a situation, the efforts by private welfare bodies in the fields of health and education were highly praiseworthy.Meanwhile, Deputy Chief of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), Rashid Naseem has said that both the judiciary and the executive should remain within their limits while performing their duties and there should not be any impression of partiality in this respect.
Addressing the participants of the JI central workshop at Mansoora on Sunday, Rashid Naseem said that an impression of the judiciary’s partiality was only benefiting the rulers and doubts were being created regarding the allegations of corruption against the rulers. He said the masses want logical end of the corruption scandals of the rulers. However, he said that if the impression of the judiciary’s partiality got deeper, the rulers involved in the plunder of billions could go scot free.
Rashid Naseem said that the talk of the judiciary becoming a party was an attempt to harm and escape the accountability process. He urged the judiciary to dispose the cases within minimum time maintaining its impartiality.
He said the masses wanted the recovery of the plundered wealth from the corruption mafia as this could help solve their problems as all the governments had completely failed to provide the basic needs of life to the people.
The JI Deputy Chief urged the electorate to elect Islam loving, patriotic and honest leadership in the next elections to facilitate the enforcement of the Islamic system which alone ensured the solution of their problems.
