The Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) has staged protest rallies in various parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Malakand and Hazara divisions against alleged poll rigging and a Supreme Court (SC) verdict in a case about ‘proscribed literature’.

Protest rallies were called by the JUI-F central leadership today after Friday prayers with demonstrations held in Shangla, Lower Dir, Battagram, Buner and other districts of Hazara and Malakand divisions.

Participants of the rallies shouted slogans against the superior judiciary and alleged rigging in the general elections.

In Shangla, the rallies were held in Bisham, Alpuri, Kana and Puran tehsils where JUI-F workers demonstrated and sloganeered against the election commission and caretaker government.
