– JUI-F ready for general elections –

Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Hafiz Hamdullah said on Friday that his party was ready for the general elections on February 8.

Expressing his thoughts, Hamdullah questioned: “What is the need for creating doubts in holding the elections? The decision regarding the elections had already been made.”

He took a jibe at the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), saying, “The PTI has a negative role to play in this regard. The PTI wants to get some time ahead of the general elections. The PTI’s politics revolve around hypocrisy.”

“Maulana Fazlur Rehman wants the supremacy of the parliament even today. We are ready to uphold the constitution and democracy and lead the country towards political stability,” Hamdullah said.
