We shall be grateful for Jamat-e-Islami’s chief on his policy statement on reinstatement of now defunct MMA. Syed Munawar Hassan has put some preconditions to be fulfilled before an alliance of religio-political parties could be forged. The foremost precondition is to determine from which party the KP’s chief minister would be selected. Other conditions refer to a formula on distribution of national and provincial assemblies’ seats.
By these preconditions, Syed Munawar has paved the way for incarnation of these so-called religio-political parties into pure political parties. We all welcome Syed Munawar’s straightforwardness and wish him good luck while shedding off religious cloak which JI has been wearing for the last 70 years.
