Jamaat-e-Islami Karachi has announced a protest against what they claim was massive rigging by the People’s Party during the recent by-elections. The protest is scheduled to take place at Shahra e Faisal at 4 PM today, with party leaders urging supporters to join and raise their voices.
Local body elections, which were held recently, have sparked controversy, with Jamaat-e-Islami accusing the People’s Party of pre-poll and post-poll rigging. The party has raised serious concerns about the electoral process, pointing out irregularities that they believe are part of a recurring pattern. According to Jamaat-e-Islami, the election results were delayed until 1:30 AM despite polling stations closing at 5 PM, which they argue is a clear sign of tampering.
This is not the first time the People’s Party has faced such accusations. Jamaat-e-Islami claims rigging has become a norm under their leadership, and they’ve previously alerted the Election Commission about these issues. The party has strongly condemned the alleged fraud, calling it a “theft of public mandate.”
The delay in announcing results has further fueled suspicions, with many questioning the transparency and efficiency of the electoral system. These allegations have added to the growing mistrust among voters in Karachi, a city already grappling with political unrest.
By organizing this protest, Jamaat-e-Islami aims to bring attention to what they describe as a flawed system. They are urging the authorities to take immediate action and implement reforms to ensure fair and transparent elections in the future.
For now, all eyes are on Shahra e Faisal, where Jamaat-e-Islami hopes to gather public support and make a strong statement against alleged electoral misconduct.
