JI demands prompt action on memo issue

Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Syed Munawar Hasan has demanded action on the recent memo scandal and demanded trial of President Asif Ali Zardari and Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United States Hussain Haqqani under Article 6 of the constitution. Addressing a press conference in Bahawalpur on the second day of his tour on Monday, he said that “sensationalism” was being created in the country through artificial means. He said that all political parties had a right to hold public meetings but this right should not be exercised for mud slinging and character assassination. “Instead, these rallies should be used for public contact,” he added. The JI chief said that no political party was in a position to participate in the elections alone.
