ISLAMABAD: Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Senator Sirajul Haq said that the religious parties’ alliance, MMA, had been fully activated and it would also try to win over the other religious forces for the next elections.

Talking to newsmen in London, the JI chief said that the past and the present governments did not have the capability to resolve the problems facing the country on internal and external fronts and due to this they had lost the confidence of the masses.

He said that the JI’s drive against corruption had created an awakening among the masses all over the country. He was hopeful that in the next elections, the masses would reject the corrupt elements and elect honest and competent leadership having a clean record.

Sirajul Haq said that the JI wanted accountability to go alongside the electoral process. He also demanded of the Election Commission to debar all those who were involved in the plunder of the public money from contesting the next elections.

Referring to the Khatam-e-Nabuwwat (SAW) issue, he said the ball was still in the government court.
