A STRATEGIC CONVERGENCE? PTI AND JAMAAT-E-ISLAMI: POSSIBILITIES, PRINCIPLES, AND PAKISTAN’S POLITICA

Abstract

In the current political situation in Pakistan, the political alliance with Jamaat-e-Islami could prove to be a historic and decisive turning point, which could give a new dimension to the country's politics . It can reshape the political and democratic future of the country. Although the two parties differ in their politics and strategies, their core principles — the elimination of corruption, transparent governance, and constitutional supremacy — have significant similarities. Their common goal is to end feudal and dynastic politics as well as get rid of unnecessary interference by the ruling circles, which has been the biggest obstacle to Pakistan's democratic development.
