Hafiz Naeemur Rehman Calls Current System “Anti-People,” Demands Complete Overhaul

At the “Badal Do Nizam” public convention held in Gulistan-e-Jauhar, Jamaat-e-Islami chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman launched a fierce critique of Pakistan’s current political, economic and educational structure. He said the interest-based economic system is in direct violation of Islamic principles and is destroying the country’s financial foundation.

He criticized the stock market, calling it a hub of speculation rather than real economic activity. Addressing Pakistan’s weak IT progress, he warned that technological stagnation threatens the country’s future.

Speaking on the education sector, he said the absence of a uniform system has divided the nation and hindered development. He also accused the PPP of being a family-run political group prioritizing personal interests over public welfare.

Hafiz Naeem highlighted issues of bureaucratic arrogance, feudal dominance, urban land mafias, exploitation of small farmers, and lack of rights for women working under contract systems. He noted that 44% of Pakistanis live below the poverty line and that youth face increasing barriers to education.

He concluded by emphasizing that only a complete system-wide transformation can ensure justice, development and prosperity for the people of Pakistan.
