As political parties are in full gear to win the trust of each other, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F supremo Maulana Fazlur Rehman has hinted at forming an electoral alliance with the Pakistan Muslim League-N for the forthcoming general elections on February 8.
Talking to journalists in DI Khan on Tuesday, he said the country had witnessed development and prosperity during the PML-N’s tenure. Fazl added that his religio-political party is ready to work with the Nawaz Sharif-led party to serve the country.
The JUI-F chief said that it would not be the first time for both parties to jointly contest elections. All political parties, he said, had always respected each other’s mandate except for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf whose mandate was rejected by the entire nation.
Maulana Fazl has once again cast doubts over the staging of the most sought-after polls, saying that it would be a big challenge for the election organising authorities if they fail to establish polling stations due to cold weather.
Low turnout of voters after such failures would open doors to election rigging, he added. He also slammed Imran Khan, whose government was removed via a no-confidence motion in April 2022, for shaking the economic, political and diplomatic foundations of the country.
Fazl further said that Pakistan had even lost confidence in its global allies during the PTI government, whereas, the country’s GDP turned negative.
