LAHORE: Jamaat-i-Islami emir Sirajul Haq on Wednesday held the PTI government responsible for the prevailing political crisis, saying the government has pushed aside the Kashmir issue due to its wrong strategy.

Addressing a meeting of central leadership at JI headquarters in Mansoora, he warned the government against issuing provoking and arrogant statements about the protesters.

Siraj said it seemed the government was intentionally trying to put the Kashmir cause on back burner by creating a domestic political chaos, adding that Islamabad was reluctant to take bold steps for Kashmiri Muslims.

He criticised the government for relying on presidential ordinances for legislation and advised the premier to come to parliament if he was willing to run the affairs of the government smoothly.
