HYDERABAD, Jan 2 Sindh People`s Youth Organisation president Aajiz Dhamra and Hyderabad division president Ahsan Abro have condemned the demand of the Jamaat-i-Islami for mid-term elections.

The youth wing leaders in a joint statement accused the JI of always playing in the hands of anti-Pakistan forces, saying that it had tried to create chaos in the country by boycotting general elections in February last.

They alleged that the JI was trying to undermine the people`s government by hatching conspiracies.

They described energy and petroleum crisis as a conspiracy hatched by anti-democratic forces against the government.

They expressed the hope that the government under the leadership of President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani would complete its term and vowed that the Pakistan People`s Party`s youth cadre would foil conspiracies against the government.
