Talking to the media personnel at Mansoora on the occasion of the JI Central Shoora meeting, he said that the PPP had miserably failed to deliver.

The JI chief said that the country’s nuclear assets were a national asset and a deterrent against the enemy and their protection was the joint responsibility of the government and the armed forces.

In reply to a question, Syed Munawar Hasan said that the people changing parties should also tell the masses that their previous parties had failed to deliver.

Asked about MMA’s revival, he said that there was a close harmony among the religious parties which would increase in the days ahead. He said it was the responsibility of the religious parties to unite the nation on one platform to check the secular forces.
