The Jamaat-e-Islami has announced to approach the Supreme Court of Pakistan for holding of local government elections.

"The Election Commission of Pakistan is incomplete in violation of the Constitution. The government is not taking serious measures to conduct the LB polls," said JI Naib Emir Liaqat Baloch while taking to a delegation of Jamiat Ittehadul Ulema Pakistan at Mansoora on Saturday.

Baloch said the PTI government was also following the track of PML-N and PPP governments and showing reluctance in announcing the schedule for local government elections.

He added that the PPP and PML-N had also never shown seriousness during their respective tenures.

He said the JI would launch a campaign for the restoration of LB system in the country.

He said that normalization in relations of Saudi Arabia and Iran would be greatest news, providing an opportunity to the Muslim world to resolve their differences without western interference. He said unity of Ummah was a key to the development of Muslim countries.
