Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman has said that he has no role in the efforts to secure the release of former Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Speaking to the media, Fazlur Rehman said that while he has always advocated for constitutional and democratic principles, he was not involved in any negotiations or activities related to Imran Khan’s release.
Fazlur Rehman further criticised the broader political landscape, stating that the weakness of democracy in Pakistan is largely due to the actions of the country’s politicians.
He emphasised that many politicians had compromised on democratic values for their personal gains, undermining the foundation of the country’s political system.
He also condemned the recent incident involving Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif in London. Rehman asserted that it was the responsibility of the UK authorities to handle the matter in accordance with the law.
On the issue of the US’s influence on Pakistan’s politics, he reiterated that Pakistan should avoid interference in US politics and likewise, should not allow foreign entities to meddle in its own internal matters.
He remarked that whether it is the Republican Party or the Diplomats in the US, the country’s policies remain consistent and do not directly impact Pakistan’s political sovereignty.
