JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman demanded new general elections in Pakistan, rejecting the February 8 polls as ‘unacceptable’. Addressing a press conference here, Fazlur Rehman claimed that the government has ‘no powers’ to address their concerns and that the elections held on February 8 were not transparent. He demanded that the right to vote be restored to the people and fresh elections be held under a transparent system. Fazl also referred to the US Congress’s recent resolution on Pakistan’s elections, saying that it has raised questions about the legitimacy of the polls. He questioned the passage of such resolution, asking whether this was a diplomatic failure.
