JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has said that in light of the 2024 general elections it is now a fact that democracy is losing its case and the parliament is losing its value.

“The parliament that you are seeing is not the representative of the people, this parliament is a birth of rigging in which some people will call themselves leaders,” he said while speaking to the media in Karachi.

“They will not be able to rule their hearts […] the people will not accept it with their hearts,” he said.
