Fazl asserts JUI-F won't be intimidated by threats
Pakistan
He made these remarks at the Israel Murdaabad Conference in Peshawar
PESHAWAR (Dunya News) - Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman said on Sunday no one would be able to stop the supporters of his party to march towards Islamabad.
He made these remarks at the 'Israel Murdaabad Conference' in Peshawar where he reiterated his party’s support for the Palestine cause.
He said the conference had given a crucial message of support for Palestinians and their rights. “We stand firmly on our principled position. The West, which committed massacres during World Wars I and II, continues to kill Muslims in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine,” Rehman said.
The JUI-F chief said the US and Western nations were the "murderers of humanity". He cited the massacre of 50,000 women and children in Palestine.
Rehman questioned, “If Saddam Hussein was executed for military operations in one city, why can’t Netanyahu be held accountable for similar crimes?”
Moreover, the JUI-F chief criticised the country's policies for standing with the US and providing military bases for operations in Afghanistan. He cautioned, “If the current government continues to follow such policies, they will find JUI-F workers standing firmly in opposition.”
Rehman alleged that the country's leadership did not have the courage to support Palestinians' rights.
Targeting the government, he said, "Pakistan belongs to all of us, not just a few institutions. If today’s rulers deny Pakistan’s ideology, it is our duty to uphold it.”
As for the issue of seminaries, he said, “Madrassas will be registered but not made subservient to the government. Agreements made in 2010 are being violated, but we will ensure our rights are protected.”
