Maulana Fazl is restless for being distant from power: Firdous

ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Taking jibe at Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F (JUI-F) chief Fazlur Rehman, Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information Firdous Ashiq Awan has said that Maulana Fazl is very restless for being distant from power. Speaking to the journalists outside the Parliament House, the special assistant said that Maulana has been playing in the millions so he is repeating the word of million and million. Criticizing the JUI-F leader, she said Maulana Fazal is using the students of seminary as shield. She also termed that the JUI-F chief should avoid the dirty politics for his personal interests behind the wall of religion. “Maulana Sahib is standing side-by-side with looters and the nation is well aware of their wrongdoings. Maulana Sahib! You should also remember that the act to support robbers is a violation of the teachings of religion,” she mentioned. The special assistant urged JUI-F chief to emerge as a leader of the nation instead of supporting the looters. “The responsibility which has been taken by the Maulana Fazlur Rehman is not in the right direction. It seems that Maulana Fazl is very restless for being distant from power.” Firdous Ashiq Awan said that Prime Minister Imran Khan has once again raised his voice for uniform rights of the minority community. She reiterated that the Constitution of Pakistan also advocated uniform rights of the citizens belonging to the minority community. Firdous Ashiq Awan  said a sizeable white portion in national flag depicts the number of minorities living in the country. She said Minorities Day on 11th of next month will remember the contribution of minorities in development and progress of Pakistan. Referring to situation in Sindh, she said the provincial government has adopted the strategy of crushing the opponents. She said such tactics by the Sindh government are not serving the purpose of democracy. Earlier from her speech, the session of the National Assembly was adjourned till August following the ruckus in the house as Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and PTI legislators traded barbs which turned violent when the lawmakers attempted to attack each other.
