Jamaat-e-Islami has appealed the Supreme Court of Pakistan to establish a judicial commission to oversee the upcoming 2024 elections. Speaking at a press conference in Lahore, Amir Jamaat-e-Islami Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman emphasized the necessity for a transparent electoral process. Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman highlighted concerns regarding the Supreme Court's decision on specific seats, insisting that partial acceptance of the ruling is unacceptable. He questioned the Election Commission's credibility following the Supreme Court's verdict, pointing out that Nawaz Sharif allegedly needed an additional 70,000 votes to secure his win. Criticizing the governance in Sindh, Naeem-ur-Rehman stated that a nationwide movement for the people's rights has been initiated, with planned protests set for tomorrow. He lamented the plight of the middle class, which he believes is being systematically destroyed.
"The Supreme Court's decision is a breath of fresh air," Naeem-ur-Rehman declared, calling for legislation in accordance with the court's directives. He expressed frustration over the allocation of 15 National Assembly seats to MQM from Karachi, and criticized the impending petrol price hike, suggesting that IMF-imposed expenses are not being reduced. Addressing the recent solar panel relief scheme, he questioned the fairness of providing relief up to 200 units while neglecting those who consume slightly more. "What is the fault of the one with 201 units?" he asked, advocating for a more inclusive approach to governance and economic relief.
