'We will not let thieves enter the parliament' — All Parties Conference rejects 2018 election

E-Paper | April 26, 2026

A PML-N-hosted multi-party conference has rejected the results of the 2018 polls with consensus, demanding a "transparent" re-election.

"We do not consider this election to be the mandate of the public, but a theft of people's mandate," MMA chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman told reporters.

He said a movement will be started, and protests will be held to demand a re-election, the schedule of which would be decided by a committee within a day or two.

By not letting thieves enter the parliament, I suppose they are referring to themselves!

Maulana said: "We will not let thieves enter the parliament". Me: I think public has just done that. None of you religious traders will be allowed in parliament. Happy unemployment for next 5 years.
