LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Emir Sirajul Haq stressed on Thursday the need for robust democracy.
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.”
– All political parties should play role in uplifting democracy –
Haq said on Tuesday that all political parties should play their role for the supremacy of the constitution and the uplifting of democracy.
Expressing his thoughts, Haq bemoaned: “The election results were organised not on the vote counting, but on the mathematics’ formulas.”
“Why was the joke made with the nation if holding elections was all about selection? We will take all the possible steps to expose rigging in the elections.”
Haq asserted, “The next government that will be formed as a result of the rigging will not be able to address the masses’ problems.
