Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Karachi chief Engr Hafiz Naeemur Rehman has demanded of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to announce genuine results on form 11 and 12, otherwise, he maintained that Karachiites will not accept the bogus results and that the JI has kept all the option on cards.

The JI leader made the demand while addressing a press conference, held at Idara Noor-e-Haq, the JI Karachi headquarters, on Sunday night. The emergent presser was called by the JI leader hours after the counting process was held up in several UCs.

He said that at least seven JI workers were transported to hospital in injured condition, where three of them were termed as critical
