Fazlur Rehman in Company Bagh Kohat

Source The News

The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has said since 1985 all elected governments were removed on the charges of corruption, yet corrupt practices could not be controlled in the country.

Speaking at the ìIstehkam-e-Pakistan Conferenceî at the Company Bagh here on Tuesday, he said the rulers had failed to govern the country as the money of the poor was looted.

The JUI-F chief said Pakistan came into being in the name of an Islamic welfare state but the purpose was not achieved. He asked the rulers to mend their ways and stop corruption forthwith as Pakistan was in need of a strong and stable economic policy. The Maulana added the big political parties in the country were playing politics like gambling to secure power and were least concerned about the economic slide down. On the occasion, Colonel (R) Shehdad Khan along with several others announced to join the JUI-F.

SANA adds: Maulana Fazlur Rehman said if the US is holding talks with Taliban in Afghanistan after 10 years of bloodshed then why dialogues are not possible in Pakistan. He said the country would suffer if parliamentary resolutions were not implemented in letter and spirit.

The Maulana said until a stable economic policy was not introduced in the country the fate of the poor could not be changed. He said 60 percent budget of the country is being spent on defence of the country.

The JUI-F chief said the tradition of selling the nation through oral agreements should end now, adding the constitution of the country would have been secular if JUI-were not present in the parliament.

He said that interim steps were taken after Nato attack on Salala check post. He said 40,000 innocents were martyred in war against terrorism in Pakistan and loss of billions of dollars was also faced by Pakistan.
