Sindh, Balochistan, KP witness protests against alleged polls rigging

ISLAMABAD: Protests are ongoing across three provinces in Pakistan — Sindh, Balochistan, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The PTI, JUI-F, PTI, and other political parties are staging protests in different cities against the results of the general elections 2024.

In Quetta, workers of National Party, Hazara Democratic Party and Balochistan National Party demonstrated outside the district returning officer’s office, while roads across the provincial capital, Chaman, Killa Saifullah, Loralai and Pishin were blocked due to the ongoing protests.

As a result, land communication of Balochistan with Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was cut off.

Meanwhile, PPP continued its sit-in in Naseerabad against the alleged polls rigging for the sixth day.

The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) has staged a protest in Sindh’s Hyderabad city against alleged rigging in the February 8 nationwide elections.

The demonstration was organised outside the politico-party’s district secretariat at Shehbaz building. The protesters demanded the issuance of notification for ‘victorious candidates’ on PS-9, PS-22 and NA-191 seats.

ANP has announced kicking off its nationwide protests against alleged alteration in the general election results from February 20.

The party, which failed to win any National Assembly seat and only secured two Balochistan Assembly seats and one KP provincial seat, will start its protests from Swabi district which will be followed by another demonstration on February 23 in Charsadda.
