The Jamaat-e-Islami chief, Syed Munawar Hasan said that the present government was the biggest threat to the survival and the solidarity of the country. While addressing the JI central workshop at Mansoora on Thursday, he said that President Zardari and Prime Minister Gilani had lost the right to rule; they must resign and announce fresh elections. However, he clarified that the nation would not accept any adventurer now.
Hasan said that after a decade of complete US slavery, even the rulers had joined the JI's Go American Go drive. He counselled all other parties to come on roads against the US for the defence and solidarity of the country. He further said that efforts were going on to unite religious parties, and a big alliance of political and religious parties could emerge before elections.
He was confident that the JI public meeting at Peshawar on 18th and sit-in in the Punjab capital on December 25 would be a great success like the recent Rawalpindi meeting. The JI chief said that government had ruined all national institutions one by one and miserably failed to solve people's problems, therefore, it had no moral right to remain in power.
