Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl leader Maulana Fazlur Rahman stated on Tuesday that his party would resist the government's attempts to exploit natural resources and infringe upon citizens' democratic rights. During a workers convention, he cautioned against the government's strategy to divide the nation and incite conflict for resource extraction.
He vowed JUI-F's opposition to anti-people policies and actions. Former PPP Hazara divisional president Malik Waheed declared his affiliation with JUI-F. Rahman urged supporters to stand with him during the anticipated street protests, asserting his position as the country's strongest force. He emphasized JUI-F's role as a genuine opposition, criticizing the government's illegal power structures and foreign interference.
Rahman questioned the efficacy of counterterrorism policies, alleging that billions in funding since 2010 hadn't curbed militancy. JUI-F provincial chief Maulana Attaur Rahman affirmed the party wouldn't accept the restoration of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas without tribal input. General secretary Maulana Ajmal Khan denounced a recent drone flight near Rahman's residence, demanding an end to such intrusions.
Officers Malik Nasir Mehmood, Malik Waheed, and Malik Naveed pledged their readiness to support Rahman in his fight for people's rights.
