Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Friday announced his party\u2019s support for the Tehreek-e-Tahaffuz-e-Ain Pakistan\u2019s (TTAP) protest scheduled for February 8, saying all opposition parties shared the same stance that the 2024 general elections were rigged.<\/p>\n
Addressing a press conference alongside TTAP chief Mahmood Khan Achakzai, Maulana Fazl said his party would fully back the February 8 wheel-jam and shutter-down strike announced by the movement.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe support their February 8 wheel-jam and shutter-down appeal, and if our party has planned any rally or procession, we will cancel it, or if it cannot be cancelled, we will hold it at such a time that it does not affect the wheel-jam or shutter-down,\u201d he said..<\/p>\n

He said JUI-F would also align its programmes with the protest schedule announced by TTAP.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur demand is one, our stance is one. Rigging took place on February 8, and we have been sitting in opposition against this rigging from day one, and we all have the same stance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Criticising the role of the establishment, Maulana Fazl said its attitude had not changed even after the elections. He said the same conduct had continued in subsequent by-elections.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are firm on our position, and our stance on this issue is also one. Just as we rejected the February 8, 2024 elections on that very day, we remain firm on that stance today as well. Even today, we reject it and demand fresh elections,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Condemning the suicide attack at an imambargah<\/a> in Islamabad, the JUI-F chief expressed deep sorrow and extended sympathy and solidarity to the families of the martyrs and the injured.<\/p>\n
He termed the incident a failure in ensuring peace and said the authorities should accept their mistake. \u201cWe were crying that this is the situation in K-P or this is the situation in Balochistan \u2026 the entire state has become helpless,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said his party did not want the state to become weak and wanted to see it strong, adding that while national defence was important, the hardships faced by people over several decades had yet to see meaningful change.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the occasion, Achakzai said the opposition had raised concerns in February over alleged manipulation of the public mandate. He said that \u201cat gunpoint, through the pressure of courts, money, and force, the opinion of 250 million people was changed everywhere,\u201d\u00a0adding that those who protested against rigging were later subjected to violence and legal action.<\/p>\n
He said thousands of people had FIRs registered against them and also condemned recent judicial amendments, saying the judiciary\u2019s authority had been curtailed and voices silenced under the PECA Act.<\/p>\n
