Fazl sees no political change, formation of alliance in country

The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, has said that he does not see any political change or formation of a new political alliance in the country in the coming days.

Talking to the media at the residence of Senator Faisal Vawda, the JUI-F chief said that the Islamic world supported Iran. He added that Israel did not accept any decision of the United Nations and the International Court of Justice, which was a big question mark for its supporters — the United States and the western world.

Fazl said no political change was going to happen in the country. The JUI-F was needed to form and remove governments, he added.

He was of the view that the country was definitely facing problems and difficulties. He said the nation had shown unity against the Indian aggression and added that unity was a blessing while division a punishment.

He said Vawda had invited him for a meeting and meeting each other was a good thing.

He asked what those those forces were that blocked the path of the people’s will if they had accepted a party and its manifesto.

Why America and the United Nations continued to support Israel, Fazl asked, stating that the decisions of the United Nations and International Court of Justice were not being implemented. He lamented that the US and western world were supporting an illegitimate country that should be held accountable.

Vawda said people were talking about protests but at this time, unity and consensus was needed in the country. He thanked Fazl for visiting his house and said that the JUI-F chief was a political teacher from whom he had learnt a lot.

The senator said Fazl’s guidance was needed to deal with the present situation in the region.

Earlier, addressing a digital media convention at the Arts Council of Pakistan, Fazl said there were sectarian organisations in the country, but they fought only when special forces wanted them to do so.

He said when there was talk about the implementation of the Islamic system in the country, sectarianism was fueled so that Islamic scholars fell prey to differences. He said the Constitution of Pakistan said legislation would be made in the light of the Quran and Sunnah but now laws were being made on the dictations of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and International Monetary Fund (IMF).

He said no laws had been made on moon sightseeing and Muharram processions regulations so that religious factions continued to fight with each other.

He said the sectarianism was not only the reason of chaos in the country but ethnicity, provincialism, regionalism and other issues also contributed to the chaos.

He maintained that there had been no disagreement on the Objectives Resolution and all the schools of thought were united on all the Islamic principles of the Constitution.

He was of the view that legislation with regard to ban on marriage below the age of 18 was made in the light of directives of the United Nations while many laws were being promulgated against the aspirations of the Muslims.
