Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Mia Golam Parwar and leaders of eight Islamist political parties on Sunday accused three advisers to the interim government of “misguiding” it and thereby obstructing the creation of a level playing field ahead of the polls.
 “The eight parties believe that a level playing field is not being ensured because of this ‘misguiding’ role. Hence, the alliance has announced that the street protests will continue until the promised level playing field is achieved,” Parwar told journalists at the Al Falah auditorium in the capital.
Asked to identify the three advisers, he said the alliance had evidence against them and would disclose it “when necessary”. He urged the government to remain alert and called on the chief adviser to uphold neutrality.

Parwar said the alliance remained active on the streets because it wanted a fair election.
“Our protest programmes will continue until a level playing field is achieved. Three key demands of the eight-party alliance remain unfulfilled: the absence of a level playing field, failure to punish the accused fascists, and continued bias within the administration,” he said.
He stressed that the protest programmes were aimed at securing fair elections and would not disrupt the voting process. He also reiterated the alliance’s support for core reforms proposed by the Election Commission, saying these should be explained to voters in clear and simple language. Parwar said the eight political parties, including Jamaat-e-Islami, would vote “yes” in the upcoming referendum intended to give legal basis to the July Charter.
Speaking at the press conference, he said the alliance had backed electoral reforms from the outset. However, he claimed that one particular party had opposed several crucial changes, prompting the alliance to call on the nation to vote “yes” in the referendum.
He urged the government to clearly set out the proposed reforms by showing what previously existed and what changes were now being introduced. He suggested publishing the details on the Election Commission’s website, distributing leaflets and sharing the information through national media.
“Without proper explanation, a large section of the public will not understand the issues,” he said.
Parwar added that the alliance’s steering committee would decide and announce its next course of action in due course.
