PREAMBLE

As the purpose of creation of Pakistan was to make an ideal Islamic State where Muslims can spend their lives according to their own religion and to make this piece of land as an experimental land for Islamic System. Pakistan was envisaged as a country and society wherein people shall live in harmony and peace - free from discrimination, exploitation, corruption and prejudices of any kind - under a democratic system ensuring justice, equality and prosperity for all citizens. The concentration of power at the centre and frequent and long military takeovers have negated the spirit of federalism, causing a sense of deprivation among the federating units, which resulted in narrow parochialism, ethnicity and division among the people that tragically led to the separation of East Pakistan and continues to threaten the integrity and solidarity of Pakistan. Pakistan fell into the hands of a ruling elite consisting of inept, corrupt and selfish politicians, feudal, civil and military bureaucrats, and a host of vested interests that have plundered Pakistan and have brought it to the brink of disaster. A colonial system of government and the feudal stranglehold on society has afflicted a dependency syndrome, which has created a chronic debt dependent economy that thwarts initiative and self-reliance. Justice and the rule of law have disappeared from all walks of life, due to which, the state institutions have lost credibility. The common citizen is deprived of access to basic necessities of life such as food, education, employment, health care, clothing, housing and transportation and has been made a victim of violence in society, breakdown of law and order, institutionalized corruption, tyranny of police and other government department. That the purpose of this political party is to Reform the loopholes so that this country could be as experimental piece of land for True Islamic System.
