KARACHI: Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the chief of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F), emphasized the necessity of fair elections in Pakistan to ensure the election of genuine public representatives.
He said this while talking to Bol TV programme “Tabdeeli” hosted by senior anchorperson Dr Danish on Sunday.
Fazl said that people are increasingly realizing that their so-called representatives do not truly reflect their interests.
He stressed the importance of fair elections, particularly in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), where he claimed no current representative can genuinely face the people.
He criticized the focus on personal political gains over national priorities, arguing that the country’s constitution, institutions, and parliament are being disregarded.
He warned that instability and anxiety will persist until the Constitution is properly enforced.
He called for a stronger state capable of holding individuals accountable for their crimes and urged leaders to prioritize the country's needs over their own political agendas.
Rehman also pointed out the concerns of Pakistan’s allied nations regarding the country's worsening economic situation.
Replying to a question, the JUI-F chief said, “If Nawaz Sharif called him, he would go to meet him.”
