LAHORE: Jamaat-i-Islami emir Sirajul Haq says that governments in the country had been violating laws and the merit with impunity, resulting into lawlessness and unrest in society.

"The media should use its power for the establishment of the rule of law and recognition of merit in order to develop a peaceful society based on justice and equity," he said while speaking to the JI central media cell and leaders here on Saturday.

He urged the media to try to minimise differences of sects and factions to create an atmosphere of national harmony. "The national media should also play its role in reforming society and promoting national unity," he said.
