KARAK: Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami, Senator Siraj ul Haq, proposed the name of distinguished nuclear scientist Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan as an interim Prime Minister in recognition of his services for the country on Sunday. In his address to large public gathering, he said that Dr. A.Q. Khan is an undisputed personality who has rendered unforgettable service of building nuclear bomb for Pakistan.

Siraj ul Haq urged electorate to transform the day of election into a Doomsday for the corrupt leaders by voting the candidates known for their love for Islam and country as this would solve the problems in the spheres of education, health and dispensation of justice. “New leadership is essential to end the era of tyranny and exploitation,” he said.

Regarding senate elections, he said that unlike other members of the assembly, conscience of JI members couldn’t be bought.
