Islamabad: Expressing concerns about the future of the Shehbaz Sharif-led ruling coalition in Pakistan, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the chief of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), stated that the new government might collapse if people take to the streets. According to a report by Geo News, Fazlur Rehman appeared on the Geo News program 'Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath' on Wednesday and mentioned, "The challenges ahead are too many, and this government will not be able to address them. Ultimately, politicians will bear the responsibility for all failures."
Fazlur Rehman also expressed his party's intention to hold a protest against institutions that allegedly manipulated the election process, turning it into a 'game'. Earlier, he announced the decision to boycott the by-polls to the National Assembly and provincial assembly seats, stating that a movement would be launched from Balochistan after Ramzan on April 25 against the alleged rigging in the general elections. Speaking to Geo News, he reiterated his stance that the 2024 general elections were rigged and called out the force responsible for altering the results.
Regarding the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)'s concerns over the election results in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Maulana Rehman clarified that their issues with PTI were ideological and not election-related. While his party had not yet decided to collaborate with the PTI, he acknowledged a change in the PTI's attitude, considering it a positive development. He also mentioned his meeting with Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif, where he conveyed his view of Nawaz Sharif as a "new blue-eyed boy."
Meanwhile, PTI founder Imran Khan opined that the incumbent Shehbaz Sharif government would not last more than four to five months, as reported by The News International. Speaking from Adiala jail in Rawalpindi, Imran Khan criticized the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) for not joining the federal cabinet, interpreting it as a lack of confidence in the ruling coalition. He also raised concerns about the unity of the establishment, caretaker government, and the Election Commission, suggesting that everything was based on lies.
