Leader of the House in the Senate Shibli Faraz on Monday said Maulana Fazlur Rehman seems to want to be arrested so that he can become a ‘hero’, but the government has no intention to detain the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief.
“Maulana Fazlur Rehman wants to be arrested so he can become a hero. [The government] does not want to give Maulana so much importance by arresting him,” the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) senator said in a statement. “Steps, in accordance with the law, will be taken to maintain law and order situation,” Faraz said.
Senator Faraz further said that the cracks between opposition parties have become obvious after the cancellation of a meeting between Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani and the JUI-F delegation, which was called to initiate negotiations between the government and Rehman’s party.
