Pagination not adding the class

Question

I am using pagination and here is the code

        $this->load->library('pagination');
        $config['first_link'] = 'First';
        $config['first_tag_close'] = '</div>';
        $config['last_link'] = 'Last';
        $config['last_tag_open'] = '<div>';
        $config['last_tag_close'] = '</div>';
        $config['full_tag_open'] = '<ul>';
        $config['full_tag_close'] = '</ul>';
        $config['num_tag_open'] = '<li>';
        $config['num_tag_close'] = '</li>';
        $config['cur_tag_open'] = '<li class="active"><a>';
        $config['cur_tag_close'] = '</a></li>';
        $config['base_url'] = base_url().'blog';
        $config['total_rows'] = $Count;
        $config['per_page'] = 2;
        $this->pagination->initialize($config);

And use

echo $this->pagination->create_links();

to invoke the pagination.

But the class class="pagination" is not adding for the <ul>.

I am getting only the below in the page source

<ul><a href="http://localhost/blog" data-ci-pagination-page="0">&lt;</a><li><a href="http://localhost/blog" data-ci-pagination-page="0">1</a></li><li class="active"><a>2</a></li><li><a href="http://localhost/blog/4" data-ci-pagination-page="4">3</a></li><a href="http://localhost/blog/4" data-ci-pagination-page="4">&gt;</a></ul>

So, How can i make the class appear so i can have <ul class="pagination"> ?

$this->load->library('pagination');

$config['base_url'] = base_url('blog');
$config['total_rows'] = $this->db->count_all('blog'); 
$config['uri_segment'] = 2; 
$config['per_page'] = 8;
$config['page_query_string'] = TRUE;
$config['num_links'] = "16";

$config['full_tag_open'] = "<ul class='pagination'>";
$config['full_tag_close'] ="</ul>";
$config['num_tag_open'] = '<li>';
$config['num_tag_close'] = '</li>';
$config['cur_tag_open'] = "<li class='disabled'><li class='active'><a href='#'>";

$this->pagination->initialize($config);

$data['pagination'] = $this->pagination->create_links();

Second set routes in config/route.php

$route['blog'] = "blog"; May need blog/index

$route['blog/(:any)'] = "blog/$1"; May need blog/index
