ISLAMABAD: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Pakistan Ameer Sirajul Haq has threatened to besiege the Sindh Chief Minister (CM) House and the offices of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) if JI’s mandate was not accepted after the Karachi local government (LG) polls.

While addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Sirajul Haq said that JI workers are not cowards and that Karachi will get JI’s mayor in the coming days.

He said that he has sent a message to Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari to resolve the issues related to the irregularities in the Karachi LG polls by Friday, otherwise, he should not complain about anything. Sirajul Haq said that JI wants peace and brotherhood in Karachi. “Our mayor will work for the betterment of the metropolis. We would besiege CM House and ECP offices to get our rights.”

He expressed hope that Asif Ali Zardari will accept JI’s mandate in 24 hours. He said that Karachi gets good leadership after a long time and the citizens of the port city should not deprive of their rights.

Yesterday, Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Karachi chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman announced to block the roads across the country if the mandate of Karachiites is stolen after the local government (LG) polls.
