JUI-F advises PTI to shun arrogance

Jan asserted that JUI-F’s mandate had been allegedly usurped and transferred to PTI

PESHAWAR:

Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) spokesperson Abdul Jalil Jan has expressed concerns regarding the recent address by the newly elected CM, Ali Amin Gandapur, stating that it exhibited a confrontational stance.

In a press statement, he emphasized that such confrontation with the central government could exacerbate tensions in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P).

Jan asserted that JUI-F’s mandate had been allegedly usurped and transferred to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), citing Election Commission of Pakistan data that positions JUI-F as the runner-up on over 30 seats in K-P, which, he said, were now allocated to PTI.

Jan lamented that despite PTI’s track record of governance issues in K-P over the past decade, they have been rewarded with what he claims to be a stolen mandate.

He criticized PTI for allegedly leading the province into successive crises while sidelining JUI-F.

He warned against the consequences of PTI’s purported arrogance, cautioning that it could lead them astray.

Jan highlighted the detrimental effects of a politics of revenge, urging PTI to abandon such tactics for the greater good of the country.
