Jamaat-e-Islami chief Syed Munawar Hasan slammed on Tuesday the government’s keenness to woo back the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) as a coalition partner in spite of the serious allegations leveled against it by former Sindh home minister Dr Zulfiqar Mirza.
Talking to a delegation at Mansoora, he asked the government to refrain from taking murderers, extortionists and national enemies as partners and give preference to national interests. He said Interior Minister Rehman Malik’s role had been doubtful from the very first day as he had been serving some foreign powers’ agenda.
