Jamaat-e-Islami chief Syed Munawar Hasan said Nawaz Sharif does not follow his own decisions.

Addressing a convention of the JI candidates for national and provincial assemblies from the Punjab at Mansoora on Sunday, Munawar Hassan said that politics of reconciliation has been started in Punjab and in this regard Jamaat-e-Islami is in contact with all political parties but it will not form alliance with PML-N regarding seat adjustment in the upcoming elections however, it may consider seat adjustment with PTI.He said PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif had not fulfilled many of his promises. For instance, Nawaz announced holding an APC on Balochistan but it was never held, similarly, a joint meeting of the APDM and the MMA had decided to boycott the elections under Pervez Musharraf but later, Nawaz Sharif kept on wavering on the issue and finally his party took part in the elections, Syed Munawar Hassan added.Responding to a query regarding MMA revival, The JI chief said that in spite of the pressure from the MMA parties, Maulana Fazlur Rahman had not distanced himself from the PPP and President Zardari, instead, the Maulana was clinging to the Kashmir Committee and his party men were also holding several other high offices. As such, the matter of the revival was both closed and open.To another question, the JI Ameer said that even if Yousuf Raza Glani had the right of appeal against the Supreme Court judgment, morality required him to step down and then file the appeal. His sticking to the office of the Prime Minister was unconstitutional and immoral.
