In Lahore, the JUI-F remains steadfast in its refusal to align with former government allies and continues to level accusations of election rigging, intensifying its challenge to the legitimacy of the recently elected parliament.
Maulana Fazlur Rahman, the emir of the politico-religious party, arrived in Lahore on Tuesday night for a two-day visit, indicating a strategic escalation in his protest against the electoral process.
Accompanied by central spokesperson Muhammad Aslam Ghori and Tariq Khan Baloch, JUI-F Punjab spokesperson Hafiz Ghazanfar Aziz outlined Maulana Fazlur Rahman’s itinerary for the two-day visit.
The JUI-F leader is scheduled to address a lawyers’ convention on Wednesday (today), where various party leaders and prominent lawyers are expected to speak.
Additionally, Maulana Fazlur Rahman will attend a dinner hosted for the newly elected MNAs and MPAs.
On March 7 (Thursday), he plans to address a party gathering to outline the future course of action.
Hafiz Ghazanfar Aziz confirmed that all arrangements for Maulana Fazlur Rahman’s visit to Lahore have been finalized, paving the way for a series of significant engagements.
Maulana Fazlur Rahman has consistently rejected the possibility of joining the treasury benches and instead opted to be part of the opposition in parliament. He has also hinted at launching a “countrywide protest campaign” against the perceived election irregularities.
Reaffirming his stance on the February 8 elections, Maulana Fazlur Rahman has accused the establishment of orchestrating the “stealing and managing” of the people’s mandate in Pakistan, alleging a betrayal of the people similar to events in 2018.
