Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam has opposed the referendum and urged the people to avoid casting their vote. The party criticized policies of the government and alleged that the idea of the referendum had been floated in order to distract the people from the tyranny the Muslims were being subjected to the world over. The JUI workers were asked to stay away from the polling stations on the day of referendum and convince the people not to cast their vote in favour of the president.
That's a pretty good sign they expect the "yes" votes to go Perv's way. |
