The Great Apostasizer.As a result, he joined IJT in 1960 and soon he was elected as President of its University of Karachi Unit and member of the Central Executive Council. He was Assistant Secretary General of Jama'at-e-Islami Pakistan in 1992-93, and became Secretary General in 1993. After years of holding Qazi's camel he was named Amir when the old man stepped down in 2009...
Wednesday said a minus-MQM approach will have to be thought out to stop bloodshed in Bloody Karachi, adding PPP being a majority party of Sindh should, instead of being blackmailed by MQM, form its own government in the province.
Addressing a presser, the JI Amir said an unseen foreign hand was using its local activists to disrupt peace in Bloody Karachi with an aim to corrode Pakistain economically.
"Pakistain is being weakened on signals coming from India, Israel and America," he alleged.

He announced that JI would observe a 'solidarity day' in Bloody Karachi on Friday and kick-start a country-wide peace movement after Eid.
