Transparent elections not possible under Zardari: Munawar Hasan

MARDAN: Addressing a rally in Mardan, Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Chief Munawar Hasan said that free, fair and transparent elections under President Asif Ali Zardari are not possible, Express News reported on Sunday.

The party chief pointed out that an independent election commission was necessary for holding free and fair elections.

Hasan also lashed out at the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) for its alleged involvement in target killing incidents across Sindh.

Commenting on the anti-Islam film that led to violent protests across the globe, Hasan said that "no matter how much we condemn the blasphemous film – it is not enough.”

He further said that the “West is actively plotting against Islam; there will be an Islamic revolution soon in Pakistan.”

Criticising Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, Hasan said Pakistan doesn't need his Islamic revolution. 

Other who addressed the rally included JI’s office bearers.

Even though I strongly feel that we should give a chance to Imran Khan but not if he goes with Jamat-e-Islami or any other pressure group who have vested interest for some but not all Pakistanis.

As per JI and Munawar Hassan All elections were and shall remain rigged till JI is not elected as a single largest party! Well that day is never going to come as people will continue to reject these elements and even those who are siding by them-latest example is of PTI's drop in popularity due to this very factor as well as IK's open support for Taliban! So keep nurturing hatred and keep eating the bitter fruit!
