Dr Raheeq Ahmad Abbasi, Secretary General of Minhaj-ul-Quran International, has
said that we would not rest until the electoral system is changed in the country.
He said that the real enemy of the poor people was the exploitative and unjust electoral
system, so it was mandatory on them to take to streets and seek change in the system
for their better future. He further said that those claiming to bring about change
would not be able to succeed in their political tricks. He said that MQI was in
the practical arena to change the system for positive future of our succeeding generations.
Dr Raheeq Abbasi expressed these while talking to the heads of administrative
committees established to make arrangements for public meeting today in central
secretariat of MQI Lahore today.
Dr Abbasi said that upcoming public awareness rally in Liaqat Bagh Rawalpindi
would be attended by the hundreds of thousands of people and it would introduce
a new trend in national politics. He said that Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri would
expose the faces of the real enemies of the nation who are a major hurdle in their
way of progress and prosperity.
Dr Abbasi said that the ritual of elections would not change the destiny of the
masses. The real and meaningful change, he added, would come about when people would
struggle for it through democratic and peaceful means. He said that MQI was reaching
out to each section of society to send the system of caste-ism, hooliganism, corruption,
and incompetence packing. “Unless the electoral system is uprooted, even the hundreds
of elections would not make any difference. The Public Awareness Rally in Rawalpindi
would be a starting point for a comprehensive change in the system,” he concluded.
