Govt flexible, considers Sirajul Haq's recommendations
Govt has invited Sirajul Haq for a second meeting to further discuss the recommendations.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The federal government on Thursday called Jamaat Islami chief Sirajul Haq hoping for a second meeting after reportedly considering Haq’s recommendation to resolve the crisis, Dunya News reported.
Sirajul Haq has alerted the government of the urgency of the circumstances, saying that there’s no time to waste and that wastage of time can result into a tragedy.
According to the details, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar and Federal Minister for Railways Khawaja Saad Rafique contacted Jamaat chief and invited him into a second meeting with the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Friday.
Earlier, Jamaat chief had warned that not resolving the political crisis could result into a tragedy, adding that the stakeholders don’t have much time and that the ball is now in the government’s court.
Addressing a press conference, Haq said that governments’ tenure passes by but the problem remains unresolved if someone raises the issue of electoral rigging. He said electoral reforms are the critical need of the hour.
He said that Jamaat has prepared a formula after talking to Imran Khan which has been presented to the Prime Minister. He said Nawaz Sharif assured to consider the recommended formula, adding that the ball is in the government’s court now.
He said if the government doesn’t exhibit flexibility then a tragedy can take place on or after August 14.
Jamaat chief said that all political parties should realize the situation and should step forward to resolve the issues. He said the elements who are recommending the government of violence are turning government’s direction toward the wrong path.
He further said that he will wait for the reaction until August 10 and will decide whether or not to participate in Imran Khan’s ‘Azadi March’ after that.
