Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman has accused the government of reneging on its commitments after seeking his mediation between them and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). Fazl made the accusation following a series of meetings with both sides ahead of the imposition of emergency and governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
At a press conference, Fazl detailed his efforts to mediate, including speaking with PTI leaders about a long march and federal ministers asking for his intervention.
