Maulana Fazlur Rehman Criticizes PTI and Calls for Accountability

JUI-F Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has distanced himself from PTI following the May 9 riots that were triggered by the arrest of Imran Khan. The riots stemmed from a settlement case involving Khan, resulting in the arrest of PTI workers and attacks on military installations. JUI-F staged protests against the violence and alleged rigging in the general elections, with Maulana Fazl criticizing the establishment for interference in politics and manipulation of elections.

Fazl vowed to hold accountable those responsible for stealing the mandate and bring about change in the country. He highlighted the differences between JUI-F and PTI, emphasizing a significant divide between the two parties. Additionally, he expressed a willingness to meet with the army chief if necessary, claiming that his party was denied a fair playing field in the elections.

In his statements, Maulana Fazl also addressed the relationship with PML-N, expressing a desire to maintain friendship. He suggested that Nawaz Sharif hand over the government to PTI and join the opposition benches, indicating a strategic shift in political alliances.

Maulana Fazlur Rehman's stance on the May 9 riots and his criticism of election interference by the establishment underscore the ongoing political tensions in Pakistan. His calls for accountability and a fair electoral process reflect the challenges faced by opposition parties in the country's political landscape.
