Jamaat-e-Islami chief Syed Munawar Hasan said the election of a new prime minister was a sheer waste of time and the nomination of Raja Pervez Ashraf for the office by the PPP was an insult to the nation. The PPP government’s sole achievement during the last four-and-a-half years has been the creation of a series of crises, so what miracles could it perform during the next six months, he said. He said the only solution to the prevailing situation lay in holding of free, fair and transparent elections.
