MIANWALI: JUI-F chairman Fazlur Rehman said on Sunday that the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), the opposition alliance, would never endorse the country’s presidential system.
Fazl, who also heads the PDM, told a crowd in Mianwali that PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif was the opposition leader in the National Assembly, and that he could meet with other parties under this authority.
After his party’s victory in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa local government elections, the JUI-F chairman claimed that the groundwork for change has been established.
“The JUI-F rejects the PTI’s illegal administration, and we will depose it,” he continued.
The PDM, according to the Maulana, will never embrace the presidential system.
The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), according to Fazl, is a magnificent initiative that has been inactive for three years.
“The plan for the local body elections in Punjab will be decided by our Majlis-e-Shura.”
Fazl had previously stated that if his party was elected to power, work on the CPEC would resume.
He was speaking at a demonstration at Yark Interchange in DI Khan in conjunction with local body elections, despite the fact that the JUF-F had been denied permission to hold a rally in the district by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and the district administration.
He accused the current administration for halting development on a crucial project like CPEC.
He claimed that his party’s focus was the development of underdeveloped areas, and that declaring an uplift package for a region ahead of elections was comparable to buying votes.
“This is unjust, yet the current government continues to do so,” he continued.
“A common man cannot buy medicines under the three years of PTI rule,” he alleged, adding that conducting the local government elections in two stages was intended to turn the tide in favour of the PTI.
“We beat them in the first phase, and we’ll do it again in the second.”
Fazl slammed the PTI government, accusing it of introducing four “mini budgets” during its three-and-a-half-year rule.
