KARACHI:

Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Karachi Ameer, Engineer Hafiz Naeemur Rehman, has reiterated his demand, urging the Chief Justice of Pakistan to appoint Returning Officers (ROs) and District Returning Officers (DROs) from within the judiciary rather than the administration.

Addressing a press conference at the JI Karachi headquarters, on Saturday, Naeem expressed distrust in the administration’s ability, stating that ROs and DROs from the administration have repeatedly failed the nation in past elections.
