Fazl announces boycott of bypolls, schedule for countrywide rallies
ISLAMABAD (MNP) – Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUIF) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has announced boycotting the by-elections to be held on April 21.
In a video message, Maulana Fazl said the JUIF rejected the results of the Feb 8 elections and now it would also boycott the by-elections.
“We will struggle to establish a real Islamic welfare and democratic state. Workers seek Allah’s help and start working now,” the JUIF chief said.
He said in 2018 elections, people’s right to vote was robbed while in the 2024 elections, people’s right to vote was killed.
“We reject the [Feb 8] poll results. We have to go to people. We will take them into confidence and unite them for the right to vote,” he said.
“By creating unity in the ranks of people, we will enable them to protect their vote. Our stand is clear and we have decided to move forward for our rights.
“We will hold rallies and a mammoth public rally will be held in Pishin on April 25 in which people from all over Balochistan will participate,” Maulana Fazl said.
