KARACHI, Aug 25: The participants of a protest rally, organized by the Jamaat-i-Islami at Karachi Press Club on Thursday urged the Supreme Court to take notice of rigging in the LB polls.

The JI leaders demanded that the election results be declared null and void and fresh elections be announced. The participants were holding banners and placards denouncing rigging.

JI Karachi chief Mairajul Huda Siddiqui said throughout the country people were staging protest rallies against rigging in the elections and all political and religious parties were uniting on a one-point which would give birth to a massive rally against the government.

He said like in Karachi on Aug 18 when mandate of the people was bulldozed by staging an election drama, the same drama was staged in Hyderabad, Sukkur, Nawabshah and else where in Sindh and in Punjab on Thursday, but the people would not accept this farce election.

Other who spoke included MNA Mohammad Hussain Mehanti, Abdul Wahid Shaikh, Mohammad Salahuddin, Malik Masood and Sharif Gujjar.
