LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Sirajul Haq on Saturday said that after the passage of the bill pertaining to the delimitations, all apprehensions should come to an end and the political parties should cooperate with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for timely polls. Commenting over the recent political scenario of the country, he pressed the political parties not to allow the corrupt elements crepe into their ranks and kick out the black sheep who considered politics as a means to make money. Siraj said it was high time the political parties took serious steps to facilitate the election of honest and competent persons to the parliament. The JI chief said that the government’s failure to present the FATA reforms bill proved its inefficiency, adding that the issue of FATA should be resolved in line with the wishes of the tribal people. He advised the former premier to accept the Supreme Court’s July 28 verdict to prove his faith in the supremacy of the judiciary.
