KARACHI, March 11: Jamaat-i-Islami Amir Syed Munawar Hasan has presented a three-point agenda for solving problems faced by the country.

Addressing a press conference here on Monday, he said all political and religious parties should unite on the agenda — eradication of terrorism, recovery of economy and resolution of Kashmir issue.

He said the issue of Kashmir should be resolved according to the desire of Kashmiri people. The JI chief said terrorism was assuming menacing proportions.

He said national economy was on the verge of collapse and stressed the need for taking measures for its recovery.

He said the government should formulate independent foreign policy based on national agenda.

About coming elections in the country, he said the JI was in the process of making seat adjustments with JUI-F in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and PML-N and PTI in Punjab. He regretted that the Election Commission had not yet implemented the Supreme Court’s verdict in its true spirit on verification of voters’ lists.

Mr Hasan termed the conviction of JI leaders in Bangladesh an unjustified act and called upon the media to play its role and highlight what he termed atrocities being committed against Jamaat leaders.

He accused the United States of intervening in the affairs of Pakistan and said the US wanted to seize resources of the country. “Our present rulers are obeying US commands.”—PPI
