(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Asif Ali Zardari is the second chieftain of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) to have visited the Jamaat-e-Islami headquarters in the country's tumultuous political history. Zardari, along with other party leaders, visited Mansoora on his way back from Raiwind yesterday. About 38 years ago, the then PPP chief Zulfikar Ali Bhutto visited the JI headquarters in Ichhra to meet Maulana Maudoodi and other senior leaders.
"During the 1977 movement, I remember that Bhutto Sahib visited our office in Ichhra to talk to JI's founder Maulana Maudoodi, then emir Mian Tufail and other leaders to discuss various issues related to the Qaumi Ittehad's movement," JI leader Liaquat Baloch said.
He said though the PPP's senior leaders including Begum Nusrat Bhutto also visited the JI leaders from time to time, Zardari was the second PPP leader who had visited the party headquarters.
