Islamabad, August 21 (TNS): Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) has announced to launch an ‘accountability long-march against corruption’ from Lahore to Islamabad between September 12 and 16.

“Institutions in the country have been crippled because of corruption,” JI emir Sirajul Haq said during a press conference at Islamabad Press Club.

“I see Nawaz Sharif leaving the country soon, but that will not protect him from accountability.”

“Everyone should be held accountable, We stand with the courts,” he said.

Haq reminded the media that JI began its movement against corruption on March 1, 2016, when the country’s structure and its institutions were being destroyed.

“A big rebellion against corruption began as a result of our movement,” he claimed.
