Nawaz,Imran should fulfill their election promises:Munawar Hassan

Lahore: Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Syed Munawar Hassan, has expressed the hope that the two major parties securing highest mandate would honour their commitments and fulfill their election promises to come up to the expectations of the masses.

Expressing good wishes for the PML(N) President Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif and PTI chairman, Imran Khan, the JI Ameer in a statement on Monday, said that the new government would be confronted with major challenges. Overcoming the energy crisis should be the first priority of the new government which would also have to adopt far reaching measures to provide facilities of education, health and employment to the masses, he added. “ We wholeheartedly pray that Mian Nawaz Sharif and Imran khan fulfill their election promises and come up to the expectations of the masses”, he said, and added that in case, the expectations of the people ere not met, they get disappointed soon.

He said that a meeting of the JI Shoora would be held soon to find out the reasons and factors that led to the poor performance of the JI in the polls and to work out the future line of action for the party. He said there was great unrest among the JI lovers desiring Islamic system in the country due to the one sided election results. He said, he thought there had been a peculiar wave in the political circle all over the country that had affected the Khyber P the most. Khyber P. had been the ideological fortress of the Jamaat e islami and the JI expected big success there.

He however, said that the JI had contested elections independently after about 70 years which had restored the identity of the Jamaat.

He sad that the JI was primarily a religious party and its foremost task was to propagate the message of Islam among the people, therefore, it would continue to discharge its this duty with greater vigour and dedication.
