JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has said that his party leadership decided to go to the parliament despite its reservations.

Despite the decision to participate in parliamentary politics of the newly elected National Assembly, he said that the party’s original position to reject the 2024 elections was being proven right.

“In the history of Pakistan, we used to think that 2018 was the biggest rigging that took place in the general election, however, 2024 has broken that record,” he said while speaking to the media in Karachi.
