LAHORE – Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) and the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaaf (PTI) have decided to hold joint protests against Raymond Davis’s release from today. The decision was made in a telephonic contact between the JI Chief Syed Munawar Hasan and PTI Chief Imran Khan on Thursday. Accordingly, Syed Munawar Hasan will lead the joint demonstration in the city on Friday, while Imran Khan will lead the rally at Rawalpindi. Munawar, while talking to different delegations at Mansoora, said that the nation had lost confidence in the state institutions including the armed forces. He said the federal and the Punjab governments, the Foreign and the Interior Ministries were equally involved in this ‘crime’ against the nation. By releasing Davis, the rulers had placed Pakistan’s solidarity and sovereignty at the mercy of the ‘US terrorists’.
