Nobody could stop their anti-govt movement now: Maulana Fazlur Rehman

PISHIN, April 20 (SABAH): Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Saturday claimed that the February 8, 2024 general elections were more rigged than that of 2018. The JUI-F leader also said that nobody could stop their anti-government movement now.

Addressing a public meeting in Balochistan’s Pishin district, Maulana Fazlur Rehman stressed the need for harmony among the political forces and said: “This is not the time to fight. Politicians were always used [by establishment].”

Speaking at the public gathering, Maulana Fazl said: “People of Balochistan do not accept the results of the February 8 elections.”

Referring to the massive rigging in the recent elections, the JUI-F chief said: “These assemblies are sold and bought.”

He further said that they had launched a movement against the rigging in the 2018 elections, adding that they would continue to remain on the front line in protest against rigging in the recent polls. “We will not allow fake government to run with this movement,” he vowed.

He pledged that the JUI-F would vigorously oppose the widespread electoral fraud witnessed in 2024, indicating plans to extend their movement to Karachi and Punjab.
