JUI-F's Fazlur Rehman Demands Transparent Elections, Critiques External Interference

Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the leader of Jamiat Ulema Islam -Fazal (JUI-F), expressed his dissatisfaction with the current electoral process in Pakistan, asserting that while elections are conducted, the outcomes are often swayed by external forces.

 

Rehman emphasized the necessity of a transparent electoral framework, arguing that the authority to govern should rest solely with elected representatives, rather than being influenced by external parties. “We are not enemies of anyone,” he stated, but pointed out that the establishment’s continued influence over state affairs undermines the independence of public institutions.

 

In his speech, the JUI chief reiterated his party's commitment to upholding the sanctity of the Constitution, highlighting the 1973 Constitution's role as a unifying consensus document despite varying political views at its inception. He stated, “The 1973 Constitution acknowledges Islam as the state religion, ensuring Pakistan’s identity as a religious, not a secular, nation.” He further asserted that no legislation could be enacted against the Quran and Sunnah, underscoring the importance of Islamic principles in the legal framework of the country.

 

Rehman also stressed that recommendations from the Islamic Ideology Council must be seriously considered, ensuring that all laws align with Islamic values. He concluded his address by reaffirming JUI-F's dedication to preserving parliamentary independence, calling for a governance structure that genuinely reflects the will of the people.

 

As Pakistan approaches crucial elections, the sentiments expressed by Rehman resonate with many who seek a more transparent and accountable electoral process, free from external manipulation.
