Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan (JUP) (Urdu: جميعت علماءِ پاکستان) is an Islamist political party in Pakistan. It was founded in 1948 by leaders of All India Sunni Conference. The JUP exercised considerable political influence in Pakistani politics during the 1970s to 2003. Its students' wing Anjuman Talaba-e-Islam has a following in Sunni institutions across the country.[5] The party is considered a moderate force in the country.[6][better source needed]
