The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) has started a long march from Karachi to Islamabad on March 24 against the PTI government. Maulana Rashid Soomro, head of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam in Sindh province, said the protest would be his last against the PTI government, which would be aimed at removing Imran Khan from the post of prime minister. Rashid Soomro says:
“Opposition parties have shown all their tricks. Now it is my turn and I will surprise them before the no-confidence vote. I say 22 crore people of the country are waiting for your surprise and this surprise will be the Prime Ministers. The seat is not your resignation. ”
According to Jamiat leaders, the march will pass through various cities in Sindh province and will enter Islamabad in a large convoy.
Maulana Omar Sadiq, leader of the Jamiat party in Sindh province, told AFP that the central government wanted to create chaos in the country because, a few days ago, members of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam and its affiliates, Ansar al-Islam, were peaceful supporters. Parliament, police in La Jes, police said the government had agreed. Maulana Omar says:
“It is the order of our leader [Maulana Fazlur Rehman] to protest in Islamabad and if the government takes our way, we know the force.”
Maulana Omar Sadiq says that Jamiat has not accepted the illegitimate government of Tehreek-e-Insaf after the last elections and now it is known that Imran Khan has gained power through fraud.
“We have never been under pressure from this incompetent government.”

The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) is staging the protest as opposition parties have filed a no-confidence motion against Imran Khan in the National Assembly Secretariat and may present it in the National Assembly today (March 25) It will be voted on in the National Assembly.
In a country where political efforts are on the rise, Imran Khan has announced a meeting in Islamabad on March 27. PTI Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry claims that more than 100,000 people will attend the meeting.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman, leader of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), had on March 23 announced a protest against the central government of the Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) but postponed it due to a parade in Islamabad on the occasion of “Pakistan Day”. The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is marching from Lahore to Islamabad on March 26.
Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid told a news conference in Islamabad that voting was a religious right of members and that no one would stop voting in a no-confidence motion.
Since its formation, the PDM has repeatedly accused the 2018 general elections of being rigged and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government has come to power through fraud and the military is behind it.
But Maj. Gen. Babar Iftikhar, head of the army’s public relations department, has repeatedly said that the army is not involved in politics, and PTI government ministers have repeatedly said that the opposition parties have joined forces to cover up their fraud. He is facing opposition inside and outside parliament, and the government will complete its five-year term.
