JUI-F's Kamran Murtaza rules out alliance with PTI for street protests

Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) leader Kamran Murtaza has dismissed the possibility of joining Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in street protests.

Speaking on Geo News' program Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Ke Saath, Kamran Murtaza revealed that PTI initially called for a nationwide audit of the elections.

However, when the 2024 elections approached, there were discussions about limiting Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s role, and this message was conveyed to JUI-F.

According to Murtaza, Maulana Fazlur Rehman did not fit into the electoral arrangements that were in place.

However, no response has been received yet, and JUI-F has no intention of joining PTI in street protests.
