Jamaat-e-Islami emir Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman has said that until the schedule for national elections is announced, his party will not field any candidates.
\nAddressing the final day of the \u201cBadal Do Nizam\u201d public gathering organised by Jamaat-e-Islami at Minar-e-Pakistan in Lahore on Sunday, he said Kashmir and Palestine are their red lines.
\nHe said that political parties in Pakistan are suffering from a crisis of discipline, but in his party, everyone must follow the system.
\nThe JI chief said that actions taken to please US President Donald Trump are completely wrong. He said Pakistan has suffered greatly by choosing servitude to America.
\nPakistan\u2019s foreign policy must be independent, and no country, including the US, has the right to exploit others. Even our disagreements should be expressed with dignit. He said that millions have sacrificed their lives for Kashmir.
\n\u201cKashmir belongs to Pakistan, and Pakistan belongs to Kashmir. Kashmir and Palestine are our red lines. We cannot abandon the Kashmiris. A free Palestinian state is the only solution to the Palestine issue. Pakistan\u2019s leaders must support Palestine and take the entire nation along,\u201d he added.
\nHafiz Naeem said that Jamaat-e-Islami will not announce any candidate until the national election schedule is issued. He said they work to unite the nation, not divide provinces against each other.
\nHe added that those sitting in Parliament do not speak about women\u2019s rights. If given the opportunity, every woman will be granted her rightful share in inheritance. Under the current contractor system, women are deprived of their rights, and the rulers have no concern for public issues.
\nThe JI chief said that the current system gives respect only to landlords and capitalists. Local body elections have not been held in Punjab since 2015. Those calling for non-party elections want horse-trading in every union council.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
