Fazl asks Nawaz, Bilawal, and Shehbaz to hand over govt to PTI if it is largest group

Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), openly expressed his support for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) democratic and constitutional rights to organize protests and rallies.

In a fiery address to the National Assembly, JUI-F chief said "Our parliament has been reduced to a facade, a mere tool for those who pull the strings from behind the scenes."

He raised  allegations of widespread election tampering, asserting that the recent assemblies were "sold and bought," casting doubt on their authenticity as representatives of the populace.

He lamented the erosion of the ideals set forth by Quaid-e-Azam, emphasizing the need for introspection on the nation's direction.

Maulana also condemned the influence wielded by unseen forces, suggesting shadowy control over decision-making processes, which undermines the integrity of political participation.

Following the February elections, both JUI-F and PTI agreed that the elections were rigged. While there have been discussions between the parties about protesting against the government, JUI-F has not been part of the six-party opposition alliance formed against the current government.

Previously, JUI-F played a significant role in the Pakistan Democratic Movement-led government that came into power after the PTI regime was removed through a no-confidence vote.
