Speaking to the media in Lahore, Jamaat-i-Islami emir Sirajul Haq termed the Feb 8 polls the most “polluted and infamous” in Pakistan’s history.

He alleged that the census conducted before the polls was “manipulated”, adding that the population size was inflated in some areas and reduced in others.

He said that a government formed using “manipulated elections” and results would not last. “There is no solution other than following the Constitution and law,” he said.

He urged all political parties who believed in free and fair elections to unite. “Everyone is raising their voices. Only the beneficiaries are sitting quietly,” he said.
