Thursday. The event organized by Sustainable Development Policy Institute
(SDPI) was sixth in series of seminars, planned to bring manifestos of
political parties into discussion and assess their impact on the electorate in
run up to the general elections.

Speaking
on the occasion, Malik Sikandar Khan said that their party would introduce
comprehensive changes in the system based on Islamic laws, where state would

security and freedom would be protected as enshrined in the Constitution.
He was of the view that whenever Islamic laws were implemented in true spirit,
the society made socio-economic and cultural progress. The welfare system was
so strong that in some cases, the people for giving Zakat were hard to find.
