Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Ameer Syed Munawar Hasan on Sunday congratulated Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President, Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif on the huge victory of his party in the general elections and said he wished him well.
Syed Munawar Hasan added that government formation by the PML-N would be the party’s greatest test and said he hoped they would fulfill promises made during their campaign.
The JI Ameer felt that the new government would have to face numerous challenges. He said that the country’s economy, industry and agriculture were in ruins, and foreign and internal loans were also a great issue. The energy crisis had worsened significantly, while unemployment and the price hike had made life miserable for the people.
He also said that the law and order was a serious concern. Further, he pointed out the issues of bilateral ties with the US, India and other major countries.
Hasan also expressed the hope that the PML-N government would take austerity measures to overcome the financial crunch and provide relief to the masses.
