He says parliament didn’t take the security issues seriously


Islamabad: Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Wednesday urged parliament to hold a dialogue with the people of Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to address their security concerns.
Addressing the National Assembly, JUI chief said that he believed that if the parliament was requested to step forward and go and talk to the people of Balochistan and KP, then the situation could be reverted to normal.
“Government’s writ in Balochistan and KP has been ended due to unrest,” he said, adding that armed militants were ruling there and collecting taxes. “They are visiting the villages, patrolling the streets, and are armed with rocket launchers and special equipment,” he added.
Fazl said that despite after the recent incidents happened in the province, parliament didn’t take the matter seriously.
JUI chief continued that the people should be assured that the Constitution will be followed and under the 18th Amendment, these resources are yours. The state has no right to go and occupy them.
“I want the nation to trust the army but such actions are eroding that trust,” he said, alleging that a person arrested a year before the Army Public School attack was among those hanged over the incident.
He went on to recall his visit to Afghanistan in January where he met Prime Minister Mullah Hasan Akhund, affirming that he returned “fully successful and apprised the foreign office and the authorities” of his discussions there.
