The Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) has held a workers’ convention in the federal capital, terming it the beginning of a countrywide protest movement against alleged rigging in the elections.

Addressing the ‘Islam­abad general council’ of the JUI-F, party chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman said the nation witnessed the worst rigging in the country’s history on Feb 8.

He alleged that the 2024 polls were manipulated at such a large scale that it even put the rigging of the 2018 elections to shame. He said a joke has been made of the public mandate, leaving the assemblies to stand on bogus results.

The JUI-F announced that in the first phase of its planned protest drive, meetings of the party’s general assemblies have been called which will be followed by feedback meetings with its provincial chapters to devise the future course of action.
