16 Sep, 2014

LAHORE: Ameer, Jamaat-e-Islami, Pakistan, Sirajul Haq, has said that the government as well as Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf and Pakistan Awami Tehrik would have to shed their egoism to safeguard the country's solidarity and to strengthen the constitution and democracy.

Talking to the media at Mansoora, he said, the political Jirga had successfully brought together the parties of the conflict to the negotiation table.

For the first time in the country's history, he said, the political parties had joined hands to safeguard democracy and with their consent, a political Jirga was formed. The Jirga had broken the deadlock and given recommendations to them and it would be in the interest of the both sides to accept these.

He said the Jirga was in touch with the leaders of all the three parties and it would continue its efforts till the issue was resolved.

He said if all the institutions worked within their limits, such situations would not crop up.

Replying to a question, Sirajul Haq said that the JI's stance on the Kalabagh dam was the same as of the nation.

JI and the Al-Khidmat Foundation were doing their duty to provide every possible help and assistance to the flood hit people, he remarked.
