LAHORE, JUNE 05: Acting Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Syed Munawar Hassan has said on that the Pakistan People's Party has reduced the constitutional package to the status of puzzle.

"The ruling party is exhibiting inconsistency about it. The package is a ploy to sabotage the restoration of deposed the chief justice and other judges."

In a statement issued by the party media cell on Thursday, Syed Munawar Hassan pointed out that the committee, constituted by the JI acting ameer to mull over the so called constitutional package would meet shortly, and come up with its viewpoint about the package. The constitutional package, he lamented, is subjected to amendments daily and new provisions are being incorporated in it in total contrast of the spirit of 1973 constitution.

Syed Munawar Hasan said the poverty-stricken people of Pakistan are befooled by indulging them in constitutional matters. "They are sick with price hike and load-shedding. The lawlessness is rampant all across the country while US intervention in the internal matters of Pakistan has touched unprecedented heights." The JI leader regretted that the hopes of masses are dying down due delay in the restoration of the deposed judges.

He expressed his dismay over the fact that meetings on conditional package are scheduled in Dubai and London which clearly indicates that the leaders are hiding facts about the talk on package. He alleged that the PPP is delaying the matters intentionally so that judges' restoration is all together shelved.

Syed Munawar Hassan warned that further delay in the restoration of deposed judges would aggravate the situation beyond repair. The acting ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami urged the party cadre to take part in the lawyers' long March on June 10 and accord them red-carpet welcome.
