ISLAMABAD:
Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi is planning to meet the leadership of the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) during his upcoming visit to Pakistan this month, a source told The Express Tribune.
Mursi is expected to visit Islamabad to attend the Developing-8 countries summit meeting on November 22.
Inside sources say that Morsi, one of the top leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood or Ikhwanul Muslimoon will meet JI chief Syed Munawaar Hassan and other leaders during his three-day visit to Pakistan.
However, it is not yet ascertained whether the meeting between the two religious parties will take place in Lahore or Islamabad, as it is speculated that the Egyptian president is scheduled to stop over in Lahore for a day.
The JI chief, when contacted by The Express Tribune said that he had no information as yet about his meeting with the Muslim Brotherhood leader.
Mursi might have expressed his desire to meet us during his recent meeting with Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar who had gone to Cairo to personally deliver an invitation to the Egyptian president for the D-8 summit in Islamabad, Hassan said.
JIs visit to Egypt
Hassan, along with his party colleagues, are to travel to Egypt this month for their meeting with the central leadership of the Brotherhood, the JI chief disclosed.
We will travel to Cairo after attending an international conference of the world Islamic movements in Sudan.
JI has maintained mutual ties with the Muslim Brotherhood. The partys founder Maulana Abul Aala Maudoodi is considered to be one of the spiritual and political leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Last years visit
A three-member JI delegation comprising Secretary General Liaquat Baloch, JI foreign affairs chief Abdul Ghaffar and JI Chief Hassan during their four-day visit to Cairo last year met with Dr. Muhammad Badei, the chief of the Brotherhood and Dr Mehmudul Hassan, the Brotherhoods secretary general and other central leaders including President Mursi.
Leadership of the two parties decided to join hands to solve issues faced by Muslims the world over. They vouched to strengthen relations between Islamic movements in different countries, and to counter anti-Islam propaganda, stated a press release issued from the JI headquarters in Lahore last year.
