Amid the uncertainty as to who will become the prime minister, Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Sirajul Haq has said that the government should be given to the one who has been given the mandate by the people.
“In the world, first elections are held and then the government is formed, but Pakistan is the only country where the government is formed first and then the elections are held,” Siraj said while holding a news conference on Sunday.
“After the elections, there is a peaceful atmosphere, but this is the only country where there is an increase in chaos after the elections,” he said, adding that in 1971, the country broke up due to non-recognition of the mandate, in 1977 martial law was imposed.
Siraj said that the result of the elections led to increased polarisation as the people decided one thing but the results were different.
The JI chief claimed that a government imposed by force would not last, as the 2024 election was the most polluted and infamous one because the census itself was incorrect.
