MANSEHRA: Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has said that the government has failed on all fronts and the day is not far when it will be dislodged.

“The joint struggle of political parties from the platform of Pakistan Democratic Alliance to dislodge this government has been gaining momentum with every passing day,” he said. “Our peaceful struggle will achieve success very soon,” the JUI chief expressed the hope while talking to journalists here on Sunday.

Earlier, Maulana Fazl spoke at a condolence reference for his party’s leader Maulana Ghulam Nabi Shah, who died after a protracted illness.

He said though Pakistan Peoples Party had left the PDM permanently, he was optimistic other parties of the alliance would force the government out of power through a joint struggle being waged against it.

“None of the elections held in the country since 1947 were free and impartial and that is why interference by establishment in political affairs continues,” he said.

The JUI chief said that people should rise up for free and impartial elections and extend their support to the PDM to dislodge the government which was brought into power by the establishment.

“We are going to hold history’s biggest public meeting in Karachi on the eve of Independence Day and at that meeting we will reveal our strategy to oust the government among the sea of the people,” Maulana Fazl claimed.

He said that the pre-poll rigging by the PTI in Azad Kashmir’s legislative assembly election was at its peak as almost all electables of political parties were being compelled to join the ruling party.
