KARACHI:


Protest demonstrations and forced closure of shops on a contempt of court notice corresponds to an ‘undemocratic mindset’ and such tactics dishonour legal institutions, said Jamaat-e-Islami Karachi acting chief Birjees Ahmed on Monday.


“Why can’t the chief of a party appear before the court when the country’s prime minister and federal interior minister have done so,” asked Ahmed, adding that Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s chief Altaf Hussain should not portray himself as someone who is exempted from accountability.

The market of JI is based on Islam they propagate . Now the future of such Islam is very bleak . They have to change their attitude accordingly otherwise Taliban will enter in Islamabad and capture their market which will ultimatly come under the target of carpet bombing by drones .

JI is the party which always damages interest of urban people of Sindh. For exmple: JI never condemned Quota System in Sindh which destroyed future of many generations during last 30 years. They supported un-necessary settlers in Sindh from all over the country over local population, only becouse of party affiliation. Sham on JI worst kind of hypocratic group. Just performing 5 times prayer wont bring you heaven unless you do justice with people....
