The JUI-F chief while talking about the “detailed planning and efforts involved to pull off a campaign of this magnitude”, said that the movement had begun the very day after the July 25, 2018 elections.
“We have worked constantly since July 26. In nine months we pulled off 15 ‘million marches’,” said the JUI-F chief, during an interview with DawnNewsTV.
He added that every political party has “actively pursued this” in their own way.
The JUI-F chief says that the opposition leaders will never be willing to “squander the emotions of the participants and end the ongoing anti-government protest”.
Speaking during DawnNewsTV talk show ‘News Wise’, he said the protest participants who belonged to all walks of life and represent all political parties were determined in their resolve and “there is no telling until when they wish to continue”.
Rehman said that the protest “which has the nation’s support and which represents the voice of the nation can not be sidelined”.
The JUI-F chief told the government not to “bother with negotiations” if the prime minister’s resignation is off the table.
“There is no need for negotiations then. No need to come to us. When you come, you must come with the intention of leaving the corridors of power behind.”
Addressing the prime minister, Rehman said: “You are at a dead end now and now you must decide whether you want to continue to remain there or come out and give back the people their right.”
