Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan has categorically stated that it will not become a part of any political alliance but it can cooperate with anyone for a certain purpose. Addressing a media conference, Jamat-e-Islami emir Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman said the media workers are facing a host of issues such as economic crisis and press freedom. “During my visit to Balochistan, I observed that the law enforcers were violating the laws. Some elements want to suppress the voices rising for the supremacy of law. People are missing unconstitutionally and locals are being humiliated at check posts,” said the JI chief, adding when people feel deprived, the global powers exploit the situation. He alleged that the coalition government of PML-N, PPP and MQM, a product of Form-47, had been forcibly imposed on people, adding that tampered figures were being presented to claim improvement in the economy. He requested the Chief Justice of Pakistan to establish a judicial commission tasked with compiling the results of the general elections based on Form-45. When asked if the JI will be part of the opposition alliance headed by Mahmood Khan Achakzai, he said his party can cooperate with anyone for a certain aim but it won’t be a part of any political alliance.
