Jamiat-e-Ulema Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), a former allied party in Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), decided to launch a protest movement against the newly-formed federal government as the party accused the 2024 general elections of being ‘rigged’. It reported in a news channel that Maulana Fazlur Rehman-led JUI-F would stage public gatherings in Sindh, Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as part of its ‘protest movement’.
The decision came after Maulana Fazlur Rehman completed consultation with party’s central executive committee. The party has decided to chalk out new strategies against the alleged rigging. The protest movement would start from Sindh followed by Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab and end in Islamabad. Fazlur Rehman would himself lead the movement.
Meanwhile, sources claimed that Maulana Fazl will leave for a 10-day private visit to Saudi Arabia tomorrow. He would perform Umrah and participate in a religious conference. In the February 8 general elections, JUI-F secured 10 seats in the provincial assembly of Balochistan.—APP
