JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Saturday said certain individuals were imposed on Pakistan to destroy the economy and create chaos – a reference to the PTI founding chairman – as he said the destruction during the last five years had no parallel in the history.
They were brought in power through vote theft and rigged elections, he told his supporters in Kandhkot and added that his party stood for progress and prosperity in Pakistan.
As the JUI-F aims at a strong showing in Sindh, especially in its upper parts, he said killings and kidnappings were a norm in the province. The people associated with his party were facing pressure and threats in Sindh, the JUI-F chief said. Pakistan requires internal peace and stability, Fazl noted and promised to safeguard the neglected segments of the society and promote their interests.
He also mentioned the martyrdom of over 25,000 people in Gaza and criticised the United States and the West for their double standards, saying they could not lecture others on human rights.
Fazl said attempts were being made to sabotage Pakistan’s relations with Afghanistan and also mentioned that the United States was fully backing Israel.
He said the US and the Western world are supporting the genocide that’s happening in Gaza right now. The JUI-F chief emphasized the power of a vote saying that everyone should come out and vote for their future. He said that there was a time when landlords used to force people and change their loyalties however now JUI-F have empowered the poor people.
Earlier, talking to journalists in Dera Ismail Khan Maulana Fazlur Rehman stressed the need for ‘positive steps’ to deal with issues between Pakistan and Iran amid cross-border intrusions and heightened regional tension.
The JUI-F chief said that Iran should have contacted Pakistan before taking such “drastic action”, expressing concern over the “unprovoked airspace violation”. “Iran should have sought assistance from Pakistan instead of taking action unilaterally”, Maulana Fazl said, emphasising on ‘positive steps’ to deal with issues.
He termed Pakistan’s retaliatory action ‘reciprocal’, saying that Iran had started the tension and Islamabad had every right to respond.
