Munawar Hasan vows to defeat extortionists on May 11

KARACHI: Amir Jamat-e-Islami (JI) Syed Munawar Hasan Sunday said the city of lights (Karachi) has been plunged into darkness and that a conspiracy is at work to further deteriorate the law and order of the metropolis.

“We will inflict a defeat on extortionists on May 11 (the day of upcoming general elections),” Munawar Hasan vowed while addressing a big electoral rally under the title ‘Peaceful and Prosperous Pakistan’ staged here by the Mazar-e-Quaid.

He regretted the culture of gunny sacked bodies has confined Karachiites to their homes.

The JI Amir said the people who call themselves ‘liberals’ are actually the ‘proponents of America’. “Pakistan was founded in the name of Islam. Pakistan was not made for liberals,” he maintained.

He said the people who migrated to Pakistan in the post-partition era did not render sacrifices for becoming ‘liberals’.

Munawar Hasan claimed that Karachi is not just ‘mini Pakistan’ but it is also ‘mini Islam’. Unrest in Karachi affects the entire country, he noted.

He exhorted the people to come out on May 11 to exercise their right of franchise.
