History

Daily Jasarat was originally started in March 1970 from Multan, but soon moved its operations to Karachi and later shut down due to strikes by journalists. [1]

Daily Jasarat faced governmental censorship, particularly between 1972 and 1976 under Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's administration, resulting in multiple temporary shutdowns. [1] Internal conflicts arose during Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq's rule between the newspaper's editorial leadership and Jamaat-e-Islami, especially over the issue of supporting the military regime. These disputes led to significant shifts within the organization, including the departure of editor Maulana Salahuddin. [1]

Subsequent to these internal changes, Daily Jasarat has seen a decline in readership, a trend that has continued over several decades, exacerbated by the rise of competing publications such as Daily Ummat in the 1990s. [1]

Political stance

The newspaper reflects views of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan, a religious political party in Pakistan, while generally opposing left-wing and liberal ideologies. [2]

It is the Pakistani successor to Jamaat-e-Islami, which was founded in colonial India in 1941.

Supporters not thought qualified to be members may become "affiliates", and beneath them are "sympathizers". The party leader is called an "ameer". Although, it does not have a large popular following, the party is quite influential and considered one of the major Islamic movements in Pakistan, along with Deobandi and Barelvi.
