Sami seeks release of detained clerics

NOWSHERA: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Sami (JUI-S) head Maulana Samiul Haq on Wednesday sought the release of detained clerics.

Speaking at a meeting here, he condemned the attack on the Police Training College in Quetta and said that the government should take action against the perpetrators of the carnage. Maulana Hamidul Haq, Maulana Abdul Manan, Maulana Syed Mohammad Yusuf Shah and Maulana Abdul Rauf were also present on the occasion.

Samiul Haq urged party activists to ensure participation in the Defa-e-Pakistan conference being held in Islamabad on 28 October. He said his party would strive to work for the restoration of Shariah rule in the country. 

He said that the rulers were taking action against the seminaries to hide own failures. He said the government had failed to serve the people and urged them to side with the JUI-S to enforce Sharia in Pakistan.
