A number of workers of the PPP, PML, PTI, ANP and some religious parties announced their joining the Jamaat-e-Islami on the occasion of the JI central workshop for party workers at Mansoora. JI deputy chief Hafiz Muhammad Idrees welcomed them in the JI fold and presented sets of books.
Speaking on the occasion, Hafiz Muhammad Idrees said that the JI was not hostile to any party. Instead, it respected all others and invited their workers and leaders to study the manifestoes, past record and assess the leadership of all parties to ascertain which of them was capable of bringing about a change in the homeland.
Hafiz Muhammad Idrees said that the country at present was deeply stuck in the mire of corruption and selfishness and only an honest leadership could pull it out of that. He said that the JI was primarily engaged in Dawah of Deen and it did not talk of sectarianism or regionalism. He said that Pakistan had been established in the name of Islam therefore the manifesto and goal of every party should be to run the country in line with the Islamic teachings.
The JI deputy chief said that the JI could not compromise on corruption and other malpractices and it was inviting everybody to support the JI in its efforts to achieve a corruption free Pakistan that could help solve all the problems facing the country and the masses.
