JUI-F's KP chapter to protest anti-encroachment drive, ‘propaganda’ against Fazl on Nov 15

On November 15, the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa party plans to organize street protests against the ongoing anti-encroachment drive and what they perceive as propaganda against their party and its leadership. During a press conference, JUI-F KP provincial emir Senator Maulana Attaur Rahman addressed the concerns related to the actions taken under the guise of removing encroachments, as well as the party chief Maulana Fazlur Rahman's perspective on mineral reserves.

The meeting discussed baseless propaganda and actions taken in the name of removing encroachments, suggesting that the province's emergency may not be about eliminating terrorism but rather targeting public properties. The party emphasizes that if the government's sole objective is to remove encroachments, then imposing governor's rule and an emergency were unnecessary.

The JUI-F KP's executive council expressed concern over the demolition of legal shops, plazas, houses, and mosques in Peshawar and other parts of the province. The party demands that the government provide compensation for properties acquired under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act. The party also stands firmly in support of Maulana Fazlur Rahman's stance on mineral resources, with the entire JUI-F KP chapter backing his decision.

The party plans to launch an awareness campaign and hold protest demonstrations in all districts of the province on November 15, condemning one-sided propaganda, fake statements, and immoral videos released against the JUI-F chief and other leaders.
