Hafiz Naeem threatens to stage protests across Karachi if LG polls' results delayed.

Jamaat-i-Islami Karachi chief Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman threatened on Sunday to stage protests across the city, if the announcement of the local government elections' results was delayed.

Speaking to media, Mr Rehman said the local government elections were held despite all the conspiracies. Lashing out at the political opponents, Mr Rehman said, "Instead of contesting the elections, the elements of conspiracy escaped."

Speaking on the turnout, Mr Rehman said, "The voting turnout was above 25 percent, but if there had been a week in the elections, the turnout would have been above 50 per cent."
