"If the government doesn't open the door for indoor politics, the gap between the government and the political parties would widen. And it would help little in creating an atmosphere for holding a free and fair election," he said in an interview with a private TV channel.

Nizami said, "If reforms have to be made within political parties, the government should allow them to hold meetings for their self-criticism and correction."

"The main task of the Election Commission is to hold a free fair and credible election. It's not their duty to fix what will be the characteristics of political parties or who will be included in their committees," Nizami said.

About his party reforms, Nizami said his party does not need any reforms in its constitution as Jamaat is a democratic party.
