Hafiz Naeem, Fawad Chaudhry, JI

KARACHI: Ahead of elections for Karachi Mayor, Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Karachi chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman has responded to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Fawad Chaudhry’s criticism on JI, ARY News reported on Tuesday.  

Speaking to ARY News programme ‘11th Hour’, the JI leader said that if Fawad Chaudhry has any problem with Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) then PTI is free to elect Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) mayor in Karachi.

Hafiz Naeem said that it was PTI’s right to choose between PPP or JI’s mayor in Karachi. “People like Fawad Chaudhry kept Imran Khan away from Karachi”, he added.

“Where was Fawad Chaudhry, when PTI appointed MQM-P’s Faorg Naseem Law Minister,” the JI leader asked, lambasting the former minister over ‘hypocrisy’.  Hafiz Naeem further said that his party has suggested to create a consensus for Karachi Mayor.

“We are not in position to have a final opinion on alliance with PPP or PTI,” he said, adding that his aim was to create a consensus to solve city’s problems.  However, Hafiz said, it is certain that the Mayor of Karachi will be from Jamaat-e-Islami.
