Feb 8 elections key reason of current political turmoil: JUI-F chief

Larkana: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Wednesday said that the present political situation of the country is due to the Feb 8 elections.

Talking to the media in Larkana, Maulana said that the real basis of the problem is vote theft as elections should be held in accordance with the constitution.

JUI-F chief said there's no doubt that a worker is sincere with the leadership and giving the workers the right line is the job of the leadership.

"I don't not want to bring the internal affairs of any party into discussion," he said. "I condemn the violent incidents in Islamabad," he remarked.

"There is no government in Pakistan at the moment, there must be a serious government in the country."

The JUI-F head said if the government wanted to jail you but you wanted a release, then the result was nothing but anarchy. If there is any dialogue, a way out will surely come.

The JUI chief said the PTI should be allowed to hold a rally. The situation in the country will be out of control if things are not handled with maturity, he cautioned.
