Great opportunity’ for masses to change country’s fate: Sirajul Haq,
ISLAMABAD – While noting that two provinces are still in a state of lawlessness and disorder, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman questioned on Tuesday whether the next general elections can be conducted under the present circumstances. Fazlur Rehman on Tuesday fired a fresh salvo at the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), saying the party is “balloon without air.”
Interacting with media here, Fazl stated that his party was ready to contest elections at any given time, but stressed the need to ensure a conducive environment in all four provinces.
He also questioned how a party could run its election campaign in a state of lawlessness in the provinces of Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, recalling recent incidents of terrorism in Peshawar, Dera Ismael Khan, Tank and Lakki Marwat.
Regarding PTI’s intra-party elections, Fazl expressed regret that about 40 individuals were called in for the intra-party polls, adding that the initial enthusiasm within the party had now deflated. He observed that individuals who had been forcibly brought into the PTI were now jumping ship.
Fazl indicated that the JUI-F would pursue seat adjustments under an electoral alliance with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz.

Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Emir Sirajul Haq said on Tuesday that there is a “great opportunity for the masses to change the destiny of the country on February 8.
Expressing his thoughts in Lahore, Haq assailed the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). “The three political parties are responsible for dragging the country into a quagmire.”
“It is due to the ill-planned policies of the rulers that led the country to inflation and unemployment,” Haq said.

Few days back, Haq assailed the political opponents, asserting the rulers are carrying on the “legacy” of the East India Company.
Addressing the convention in Peshawar, Haq took a swipe at former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari. ‘’The PPP had ruled the country for four terms.”
‘’The PML-N had come to power on a regular basis,” he added.
Speaking about self-accountability, Haq said, “I am ready for self-accountability in 2023. Nawaz Sharif, Shehbaz, and Asif Ali Zardari should also be ready for self-accountability.”
“Those who had put the burden of loans on the masses are now once again trying to impose themselves on the masses,” Haq said.
