Jamaat-e-Islami leader Syed Abdullah Mohammad Taher has voiced opposition to a bilateral meeting between a political party chairman and the head of a state, calling it inappropriate. Speaking on the recent London meeting, he stated that the chief advisor should have engaged with all political parties jointly. Due to perceived bias, Jamaat had boycotted the second round of dialogue and issued a statement of objection. However, Taher later said the chief advisor assured Jamaat’s Ameer of maintaining neutrality, after which Jamaat joined the Unity Commission meeting and proposed holding the presidential election through an electoral vote.
