Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the chief of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazal (JUI-F), addressed the general council of JUI Punjab, emphasizing the need for united opposition against election irregularities.
He urged Shehbaz Sharif to join hands with the opposition to safeguard against potential challenges. He accused political parties of orchestrating election fraud rather than the establishment.
Highlighting the pervasive issue of corruption, the JUI-F chief asserted that evidence of financial coercion against their candidates exists, challenging the integrity of the electoral process.
Expressing his concerns about the state of democracy, Mr Rehman stated that the parliament has been reduced to the status of a mere exhibition institution, and democracy is gradually losing its credibility.
During the council meeting, a unanimous resolution was passed by JUI Punjab, denouncing the February 8 elections and institutional interference.
The resolution underscores JUI Punjab’s commitment to spearhead a movement against election malpractices, signaling a concerted effort to address systemic issues and uphold democratic principles.
