Jamat-e-Islami : The missing points

Jamat Islami (JI ),  Being the oldest party of Pakistan . I feel really sorry for its defeat in Karachi and it’s rather surprising for me that PTI has been leading with 50% vote in the constituency despite that PTI has not served Karachi in contrast to JI in the past.

If I look back and see the contribution of JI to Pakistani society in various field of life then I don’t find any match, especially in private sector, in education, health, disaster management and ideological boundaries. But still JI has not converted its struggle into a political win. 
Why is that ?

Recently I came up with a various discussions with non JI’s in Islamabad engaging them in various burning topics and I tried to figure out the orientation of peoples minds toward JI leadership and polices.  I realized that what people think about JI and why they vote for other parties rather than JI.

People think that .......

1. JI leadership is not attractive that much to be accepted wholeheartedly .Because they don’t think out of the box.
2. They don’t speak in common language of the public, But they have a self-centered approach to problems.
3. Mostly of its leader are out dated and are away from the recent changes and trends that is happening in our society.
4. They are not agile and dynamic and remain stick to its outdated principals which need a lot of improvement.

In short, they think that they are just like Muallas.

May be all the above points may not be valid but this is what I  summarised .

In the past JI was not like this, in the leadership of Syed Maudodi (RA).  In that time JI was considered a very vibrant and organized party by properly utilization the worker talent and capabilities.

Now,  I think that volume wise JI workers have been increased but this doesn’t turned JI into a wining position on the political front. So it means that JI is missing something …….!

The missing point is this , that JI should have to focus on recent trends which is the best way to change the opinion of public and what is being practiced by PTI and its outcome is very positive.

Now every one of us has realized that Pakistan media is a change agent and affecting mind frequently.  The space given to JI is proportionally very less and un-effective.  

If JI focus on this area .So that to put a great impact on Pakistani society then they have to establish a robust media team which should be  research oriented. Their task should be to produce multimedia content with the help of professionals.

Moreover they need to invest in national media to be awarded with proper, frequent and positive coverage.  

I hope in next election JI can attract public opinion toward their self.
