NOWSHERA: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Sami (JUI-S) Chief Maulana Samiul Haq on Tuesday said that his party could make an alliance with PTI as both parties have the same objectives of freeing the country from the US influence.
Talking to a 25-member delegation of the PTI at his residence, the JUI-S chief said those accusing Imran Khan of being the agent of the Jews were afraid of the popularity of his party.
The JUI leader also said the graph of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) was rising due to the party’s anti-US stance and support for Taliban and jihadi elements. He said that Imran Khan had been doing pragmatic politics for the last four years. He argued that the PTI had represented the religious forces by staging sit-in against the US drone attacks. Samiul Haq said that he was not interested in revival of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal.
He advised Imran Khan to continue his politics of principles and not let anyone influence the policies of his party. The delegation discussed the option of making an alliance with the JUI-S and also congratulated Maulana Samiul Haq for organising successful rallies.
The delegation said that both parties share the common agenda of a free and secure Pakistan and, therefore, a political partnership between the two parties could change politics of the country.
