RESERVED SEATS: The district amir of Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam (Ideological) has termed the ‘selection’ of women on reserved seats as a negation of true democracy and demanded that the existing system should be abolished.

He alleged that the capitalists had started sending their daughters and sisters on reserved seats in an undemocratic way to protect their wealth and hide corruption.

In a press release issued here on Tuesday, the amir of JUI-I, Pir Niaz Ali Shah, said women and men had equal rights of voting, therefore, the former should also come in the assemblies through public polling.

He contested that when a member of parliament came in the assemblies on reserved seats then she had no concern about the people of her constituency. Therefore, the women should also be elected so that they were aware of the problems of the masses and had fear of going back to them after completion of terms.
