Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) supremo and Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) head Maulana Fazlur Rehman has accused Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) of breaking its promise and delaying general elections, ARY News reported on Thursday.
While talking to anchorpersons in Lahore, Maulana Fazlur Rehman predicted that general elections would be held at the end of February. “Immediate organisation of the elections is inevitable due to the ongoing situation. It is difficult to run election campaigns in tribal areas.”
“In democratic countries, no one could think about caretaker government.”
He blamed PPP for unfulfilling the promise in the final moment. “Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P), Akhtar Mengal, and others had reached a consensus to demand immediate elections. PPP had urged to bring a no-confidence motion in the final moment.”
The PDM head claimed that elections would have been held today if PPP had not break its promise.
To a question, Maulana Fazl claimed that those who brought Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to the rulership had confessed to having a different agenda. “PTI was brought to power to economically weaken the country.”
Maulana Fazl said that the mistakes of politicians have resulted in a powerful establishment.
