Jamaat-i-Islami emir Sirajul Haq has said the party has become a national-level organisation at the “3rd or 4th level” after the general elections.

Addressing a press conference in Lahore, he said: “I accept that we have not shown the numbers in the National Assembly but we have still spread our revolutionary message to the people.”

He said that the imposition of Islamic law was the only solution to the issues of the country at every level.

“We have received more votes than before and we have moved forward.”
