General Elections to be held in time, says Jammat-e-Islami chief Syed Munawar Hassan

Syed Munawar Hassan, Jammat-e-Islami chief, believes that general elections would be held in time after the completion of the presnt government’s five-year tenure. He was talking to the journalists after attending Islamabad Family Festival-2011, which was
organised by his party.

The Jammat-e-Islami chief said that the Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) movement against the current government will not be materialised and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) will complete their five-year term.

“Chances of elections and change of the government are not eminent”, Munawar Hassan said. Furthermore, he said that there is no chance of a change in Pakistan’s current situation until President Asif Ali Zardari is in power.

He further added that the time of mid-term elections has passed and it seems evident that the general polls would be held in time.

The Jammat-e-Islami chief then mourned on the fact that for the last 40 odd years, people of Pakistan have been casting their votes for political parties like PML-N, PPP and MQM, who have never brought a positive change in the society.

He stressed that the masses must reject corrupt people and cast their votes to the right people in the upcoming elections, who could bring change in the society.

Earlier, addressing the festival, Munawar Hassan said that Islam does not prohibit recreational activities. He further said that Islam has given the best family system. “However, the flaws lie within us, as we have failed to fulfill the responsibilities
under the system”, he added.

Syed Munawar Hussan, who is the member of Jammat-e-Islami since 1967, was elected as the new JI chief in March 2009 for a five-year term. He took over from Qazi Hussain Ahmad, who remained the JI’s president from 1987 to 2009.
