  "account": "Quetta, Pakistan: The Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Balochistan chapter has instructed party members throughout the province to prepare for potential political actions and finalize organizational and protest plans according to the orders of party leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman. This decision was made during a session of the party's provincial executive committee and parliamentary representatives, led by Senator Maulana Abdul Wasey on Sunday. The assembly backed Maulana Fazlur Rehman's perspective and the central executive council's choices, urging members to stay on standby for any instruction from the leadership. It also decided to activate party groups at the provincial, district, tehsil, and union council levels immediately.\n\nThe meeting expressed deep worry over the political, economic, and law and order conditions in Balochistan, where business operations have stalled, unemployment is increasing, and acts of targeted killings and violence have become more frequent. They also highlighted the fact that national highways are now hazardous for travelers.\n\nThese participants criticized the provincial government for not ensuring public security, job opportunities, and essential services, arguing that its administrative authority seems to be weakening. The group demanded that the government submit a bill in the Balochistan Assembly concerning the registration, administration, and legal matters of religious institutions. They also requested that the draft Mines and Minerals legislation be brought before the assembly for evaluation, urging the government to fulfill its promises.\n\nDuring the meeting, Maulana Abdul Wasey emphasized that JUI-F and its chief uphold public rights, constitutional supremacy, democratic principles, and religious identity. He cautioned against any attempts to drag Pakistan into foreign conflicts, particularly those driven by the United States and Israel, as these actions were detrimental to the nation and its citizens.\n\nAgha Mahmood Shah, the Provincial General Secretary, stated that the party's trips to various districts would reinforce its organizational framework and broaden public engagement. The meeting reiterated its dedication to pursuing a constitutional, democratic, and peaceful political conflict under Maulana Fazlur Rehman's guidance.",
