The interim government’s decision to hold the referendum on the July National Charter on the same day as the national parliamentary election “does not meet the people’s aspirations”, says Jamaat-e-Islami. He said, “On behalf of the Jamaat-e-Islami, I would like to state very clearly that the chief advisor’s announcement of a referendum and a national election on the same day did not fulfil the people’s aspirations. The intention of the people was to propose amendments to the Constitution based on the legal basis of the July Charter and the reforms that were made before the national election.

There is no answer to this.”The Jamaat leader said, “We, along with eight Islamic and patriotic parties, have been demanding that this vote be held before the national elections to resolve the crisis.
