LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Emir Sirajul Haq on Friday demanded the recently held general elections audit through the “independent” judicial commission to restore the people trust on the democracy.
“There is a dire need to accept the decision of the masses. The government that came into existence following the fake elections is also fake. Those who emerged so-called victorious in the recently held elections are even not smiling,” said Sirajul Haq while addressing a press conference in Lahore.
he further went on to say that an election is not about winning or losing but the people’s choice. The people have the right to select their representatives.
Haq had asked the state institutions to uphold the constitution.
Addressing a press conference in Lahore, Haq said: “There exists such a democracy in the country where decisions are made before and elections are held afterwards.”
He recalled the recently held elections, saying, “Even as of now, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has not managed to provide clarification over the delay in the poll results.”
“Though Shehbaz Sharif has not taken the oath as the country’s prime minister, But he [Shehbaz Sharif] is still saying that the country has no option but to approach the International Monetary Fund (IMF).”
Deeming the elections as “fraud,” she said, “Even the recently held elections were based on rigging like the elections held previously.”
