ISLAMABAD: Dozens of children on Wednesday took out a rally in the capital to aware people about what they called the “corrupt political and electoral system’ in the country.
The rally, which started from China Chowk and culminated at National Press Club Islamabad, was led by Minhaj Women League Islamabad.
The children, aged between three and 12 years, carried flags, placards and banners with a message for citizens to congregate at Minar-e-Pakistan, Lahore, on December 23 to register their hatred against the current political system.
The children were also shouting slogans such as “Save the state not politics”, “We want change” and “We reject corrupt electoral and political system”.
Speaking on the occasion, Minhajul Quran Women League Islamabad President Razia Naveed said the rally was manifestation of the fact that even kids in Pakistan were fed up with the current system.
“The country's current political and electoral system is based on patronage, corruption and electoral manipulation and people's hatred against it is becoming stronger with each passing day,” she said.
Razia Naveed said Tehreek Minhajul Quran Chief Patron Dr Tahirul Qadri would present “a solution to the country's ills on December 23 at Minar-e-Pakistan… The day will herald a new beginning for the voiceless people”.
Nusrat Amin, another leader of Minhajul Quran Women League, said that the present system of elections and politics in Pakistan was a big hurdle in the way of real change. “People need to bring down the idol of this worst system of exploitation if they want solution of their problems,” she said.
