Government failed to ensure adequate facilities for girls’ education, Siraj ul Haq

LAHORE (HRNW) Jamaat-e-Islami Emir Sirajul Haq has said the government failed to ensure adequate facilities for girls’ education as 56 percent of them do not go to schools either because of poverty or unavailability of schools in areas.
Addressing a Women Conference at a local hotel here on Tuesday, he said there were only 40,000 schools for girls’ primary education from around total 175,000 available in government sector.
“Many schools are dysfunctional due to unavailability of teachers. They offer poor quality education to future of Pakistan.”
Quoting figures from different international institutions, he said women in Pakistan had no say in health sector and it was shocking that 98 percent of rural women were deprived of from quality health facilities. The PTI government, he said, paid no attention to address the problems of the masses even after completion half of its tenure. He held the former rulers also responsible for the plight of the masses. He said the masses would better recognize the PTI and the PDM that they were the sides of the same coin and belonged to the same elite club. Their politics, he added, based on the concept of serving self -interests. The JI, he said, was now the only option left with the masses. He said the JI would fully capable to put the country on track and address the problems of the masses if voted to power.
Sirajul Haq said Pakistan was created in the name of Islam and the system based on Quran and Sunnah could save it from further decline. He said the country needed powerful accountability and justice systems. He said the PTI failed to introduce across the board accountability despite tall claims of the prime minister.
