KARACHI: Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Friday said his party had the best manifesto for making Pakistan an Islamic welfare state where equal social and economic rights would be ensured for all.

Addressing the “Islam Zindabad” conference in Karachi, Fazl said that JUI-F would bring an economic revolution by pursuing Islamic economic principles, as the country requires a robust economy to progress.

Fazl said that Islamic economic system was gaining popularity in the world including the Unites States and Europe.

The JUI has been and would be working for the supremacy of Islam, he said.

Underlining the need for the correct use of resources, he said JUI would ensure economic and political stability for the welfare of the common man.

The JUI-F chief also said that his party would be campaigning for the rule of the masses, and that honest people would replace “landlords”.
