Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Emir Sirajul Haq assailed the political opponents on Wednesday, asserting the rulers are carrying on the "legacy" of the East India Company.
Addressing the convention in Peshawar, Haq took a swipe at former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari. ‘’The PPP had ruled the country for four terms.”
‘’The PML-N had come to power on a regular basis,” he added.
Speaking about self-accountability, Haq said, “I am ready for self-accountability in 2023. Nawaz Sharif, Shehbaz, and Asif Ali Zardari should also be ready for self-accountability.”
“Those who had put the burden of loans on the masses are now once again trying to impose themselves on the masses,” Haq said.

He condemned the Israeli aggression on Gaza, saying, “The JI will stage the Gaza March in Lahore on November 19.”
