LAHORE: The opposition alliance for free and fair elections was dealt another blow on Thursday after Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) too decided not to vote for their joint candidate, PML-N president Mian Shehbaz Sharif.

According to details, the JI’s central council has decided not to vote for PML-N president a day after the third biggest party in the parliament the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) opted out of voting for Shehbaz Sharif.

The JI spokesman maintained that the party has decided not to support any other party and instead chose to fight the “ideological battle from its own platform”.

The party spokesman added that the JI will continue its struggle for a corruption free Pakistan.

An opposition alliance comprising PPP, PML-N, ANP, MMA and other parties named “alliance for free and fair elections” on August 7 had jointly decided to support a PML-N candidate for PM, a PPP nominee for speaker and MMA lawmaker for deputy speaker slot.

The elections for speaker and deputy speaker slot were held on Wednesday in the National Assembly wherein PTI’s Asad Qaiser and Qasim Suri elected as the speaker and deputy speaker.




Asad Qaisar was contesting against PPP nominee Khursheed Shah. Qaiser received 176 votes whereas Shah got 146 votes.

The opposition alliance reportedly voted for PPP nominee as planned.

Had the joint speaker of opposition won, this would had been a different scenario. Now Shahbaz is having a taste of his own medicine and this time PPP is backstabbing. Good for the government.

This Siraj-ul-haq is a complete nutcase i reckon, nothing from him is coming which points towards a party policy not even close, RIP Jamaat

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

JI is dying to reconcile with PTI now. They cannot believe how stupid they were by shaking hands with Diesel than PTI. Look how much PMLQ and Sheikh Rasheed benefited with making an alliance with PTI in Punjab.

In corruption & treachery against Pakistan none of the corrupt & treacherous parties are united, above mentioned is a example as they are thirsty for power, they only care for themselves, but when touched for corruption & treachery against Pakistan all of sudden they shake hands.
