LAHORE, September 3: Ameer, Jamaat-e-Islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq, has said that the people of Karachi had experienced politics of destruction during the last three decades which had driven them into a blind alley and now was the time to give up such politics.
He was addressing a special meeting of the central and provincial party leaders held to review the prevailing Karachi situation and to decide JI’s future line of action in the city.
JI Secretary General Liaqat Baloch, deputy chiefs, JI Sindh chief, Dr Merajud Huda Siddiqui, and provincial deputy chief Muhammad Husain Mehnati, were also present.
Sirajul Haq said that Karachi was mini Pakistan where people from all the provinces and speaking different languages were residing. He said the JI had played a historic role in the uplift and the development of the port city.
The JI, he said, had always supported the oppressed people without any discrimination and it could not abandon the people of Karachi in the present hard times. He said if the JI got an opportunity to serve the people of Karachi in the future, it would put the mega city on the path of progress and prosperity.-Sabah
