LOWER DIR: Jamaat-i-Islami chief Sirajul Haq has asked Election Commission of Pakistan, establishment and Supreme Court of Pakistan to remain impartial and ensure transparent and fair general elections in the country on the same day.
He was addressing an Iftar dinner arranged by JI local chapter at Ahyaul Uloom Balambat as chief guest here on Tuesday.
Hundreds of JI workers attended the event, which was also addressed by JI district chief Izazul Mulk Afkari, tehsil chief Advocate Imranud Din, Maulana Hidayatullah and others.
Sirajul Haq said that the country was on the verge of collapse as it faced severe political, economic and constitutional crises. He said that national institutions like parliament, apex court, establishment and ECP had lost public confidence.
He said that JI was trying to play its role to end the growing polarisation and convince the political leaders to sit together to ensure fair, free and transparent general elections in the country.
“It is our demand that elections should be conducted on the same day. Separate election in provinces and at centre is not solution to the current crises,” he said.
The JI chief said that polarisation and negative politics had touched their heights in the country and it was time to bring political leaders to the negotiating table.
He said that he was optimistic about the talks between Pakistan Democratic Movement and Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf. He said that PDM and PTI leaders had realised the severity of the current situation and there was no way out but to reach a consensus.
