Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Ameer Sirajul Haq has said that Pakistan was established as per the design of Medina and to exercise Islam in country; but unfortunately the political gurus in Pakistan have betrayed the ideology of Pakistan.
He was addressing the two-day Workers’ Convention here, organized by Sindh Jamaat-e-Islami (JI). Tens of thousands of JI workers from across the province assembled at Bagh-e-Jinnah.
He said the political and dictatorial regimes were equally responsible for miseries of Pakistan. The JI leader said that Sindh possessed centuries-old culture, however those ruling over Sindh, have not only failed the province but also brought a bad name to beautiful culture. They only followed their greed and poured in extra ordinary corrupt practices while dealing with official affairs, he added. The JI chief also shed light on regional and international affairs. He warned Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi not to dare create any hindrance in flows of waters into Pakistan.
Earlier, former JI chief Syed Munawar Hassan conducted an international session entitled “Islamic World and Progress of Islamic Movements”. During the session, prominent figures of several Islamic movements from across the world, shared their views.

A large number of accommodation facilities were made available at the venue of the convention. Temporary stalls, book fair and food court have been established at the venue. Karachi JI Chief Engr Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman has been presiding over the convention. The JI leaders were optimistic that the convention would become a turning point for the politics of Sindh.
