JUI’s Abdul Ghafoor Haidari Criticizes Current Government and Calls for Strong Action on National Issues
Jacobabad:Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Haidari, the Secretary-General of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam and Member of the National Assembly, has strongly criticized the current government, calling them “puppet rulers” who lack real power. He stated that the country’s leadership, both the smaller and larger political figures, are controlled by external powers, and their actions are beyond their control.
In his address during a wedding event in Jacobabad, Maulana Haidari expressed his support for US President Donald Trump’s decision to freeze foreign aid, welcoming the move as a step toward peace and stability in Pakistan. He claimed that US assistance has historically come at the cost of Pakistani lives, accusing the US of using the blood of Pakistanis in exchange for dollars. He stated that Pakistan does not require any US dollars and expressed gratitude for the dollar freeze, believing it would contribute to restoring peace in the country.
Commenting on the controversial 26th constitutional amendment, Maulana Haidari criticized a recent meeting between opposition leaders and the Chief Justice, claiming such interactions were inappropriate, as lawmaking is the domain of the parliament, not the judiciary. He emphasized that the parliament has the right to pass or repeal laws, and the Chief Justice should avoid engaging in such meetings that could lead to controversy.
On the issue of the extraction of canals from the Indus River, Haidari warned that such actions could result in environmental damage, causing land degradation in Sindh. He strongly opposed the idea, emphasizing that it would harm the nation.
Furthermore, Haidari highlighted the deteriorating situation in Balochistan, comparing it to the conditions in Bangladesh in 1971. He criticized the government’s inability to address the concerns of Balochistan’s people, who have taken to the streets to demand the return of missing persons. Haidari called for peaceful attention to their grievances and warned that the situation could escalate if not addressed properly.
On the issue of law and order in Sindh, particularly the rise of bandits in the Kacha areas, Haidari questioned the government’s failure to control these criminals. He expressed concern about the state’s ability to defend the country if it cannot deal with local criminals. He also criticized the government’s inability to address the case of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, calling it a failure of governance that she remains imprisoned in a US jail.
Maulana Haidari’s statements reflect growing frustration among opposition leaders about the government’s handling of national issues, with an emphasis on constitutional supremacy, judicial independence, and effective governance.
