ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting, Firdous Ashiq Awan, slammed Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) supremo Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Monday, saying that he is standing alongside with thieves which also exposes his anxiety for being distant from the power, ARY News reported.
While talking to media representatives outside the Parliament House, Firdous Ashiq Awan said, “Maulana Sahib is standing side-by-side with robbers 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.”
The special assistant urged JUI-F chief to emerge as a leader of the nation instead of supporting the looters. She added, “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.”
