ISLAMABAD: Siraj-ul-Haq resigned from his position as the Amir of Jamaat-e-Islami on Monday, citing the party’s poor performance and defeat in the 2024 Elections.
Jamaat-e-Islami failed to secure any seats in the National Assembly and only obtained two seats in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Assembly.
محنت اور کوشش کے باوجود کامیابی نہین دلا سکا، الیکشن میں شکست کی ذمہ داری قبول کرتے ہوئے جماعت اسلامی کی امارت سے استعفی دے دیا ہے۔
