Hafiz Naeemur Rehman concerned over mobile service shutdown

Jamaat-i-Islami leader Hafiz Naeemur Rehman, cast his vote in North Nazimabad and expressed serious concerns about communication disruptions due to the shutdown of mobile services.

In a video posted by the party on X, Rehman condemned the suspension of mobile services, labelling it a shameful stunt. He accused the government of paralysing the communication system on the day of the election.

Rehman noted instances of material being transported to polling stations via rickshaws as late as 9:30am and 10:30am, with several locations experiencing delayed or improper polling commencement.

Talking about polling station of NA-246 Orangi Town from where Rehman is contesting elections, he said that the preprations were incomplete and raised concerns about last-minute changes in presiding officers.

Expressing worry over pre-poll rigging and polling inconsistencies, Rehman warned that such issues could cast doubt on the legitimacy of the entire process.
