‘Imran Khan won’t return to power’: Maulana Fazlur Rehman

While talking to the media after attending a training convention as the chief guest at Jamia Uloom-i-Sharia, Jamiat Ulama e Islam (Fazlur Rehman) emir Maulana Fazlur Rehman said,

“It is out of the question that Imran, who is a product of a fake and bogus election, will return to power again.”

He further said, “He has been disqualified because of his performance; his disqualification is a direct result of his own rule, governance, and policies.”

He added that many in PTI are booked in several cases and will have to clear their names from cases pending in courts if they wish to contest the elections.

While talking about general elections, he raised concerns over holding elections in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at a time when they face extreme winters.

“In January, weather would be harsh in Chitral, Khuzdar, and other parts of KP and Balochistan,” he said, adding that despite concerns, his party won’t demand any delay in polls.

The JUI-F is ready to contest elections whenever the Election Commission announces a date, he said, adding that he is against the philosophy of “Caretaker Government”.

“I don’t recognize the caretaker government because in [this] government, ‘caretakers’ are someone else,” he said in an apparent reference to the establishment.
