Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Sunday said that efforts would continue to send the incumbent government packing.
Addressing a public rally in Peshawar on Sunday, he said that the opposition’s sit-in had made the rulers worried, adding that inflation had made the life of the common man miserable.
The JUI-F chief, while rejecting to recognise illegal government, again claimed that the boat of rulers was about to sink. “Rulers have turned Peshawar into ruins,” he said. Fazlur Rehman said that the incumbent government had taken more loans than the total loans taken by all the previous governments, adding that the emergency loans were being taken from the Asian Development Bank (ADB). He further alleged that the government had sold Kashmir, adding that “traitors cannot be allowed” to rule the country. “Pakistan’s foreign policy has completely failed,” Fazl added. The JUI-F chief said that a government that was fond of racking up cases against its opponents was itself running away from courts when it was their turn to answer in the BRT and foreign funding cases. “When their turn came, they dismantled the entire accountability commission,” he added. He even questioned the government’s claim of having planted one billion trees. “Where are these trees? They must be accounted for.” It may be mentioned here that Fazl had left for Islamabad from Karachi on October 27 for his Azadi March. On October 31, he arrived in the federal capital and staged a sit-in protest against the PTI government.
