KARACHI
\nJamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that PTI did not involve them in discussions regarding negotiations with the government. PTI did not take them into confidence, and he has no knowledge of what they are saying or doing, says in media reports.
\nSpeaking at a press conference in Karachi, the establishment has no ideology; their only ideology is authority, ensuring that control remained in their hands, which he had objections to and would continue to have.
\nHe further stated that the duration of a government has nothing to do with the transparency of elections. Even authoritarian governments complete their terms, sometimes ruling for 10 years, and this has no connection to election transparency.
\nHe mentioned that in the recent election for constituency 45 in Balochistan, the winning candidate did not win a single constituency. In Form 45, some places had one, two, five, and even 20 votes; these are the votes they claim. How can we trust the Chief Election Commissioner when such discrepancies exist?
\nMaulana Fazlur Rehman added that the establishment still claimed that it would make the decisions and form the results. What is the role of the people if they say, \u201cI voted for this one, and I voted for that one\u201d? This means they are mocking democracy.
\nThe JUI-F chief said that when the establishment mocked the democracy and the constitution, should the people not mock them? Should they not criticize them? They get upset with criticism and then act this way.
\nHe also expressed dissatisfaction with politicians who compromise on democracy and the constitution and hand over the entire system to others just to maintain their credibility. This is not a legitimate position; the control remained with them, and they gave the credibility to them just to sit in parliament to gain legitimacy among the people. This change is of no significance in the JUI-F\u2019s view.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
