'False cases were lodged against PDM leaders by using institutions'

PESHAWAR: Pakistan Democratic Movement chief Maulana Fazalur Rehman has alleged that false cases were made against PDM leaders by using the country’s institutions, ARY News reported on Saturday.

Addressing a press conference in Peshawar, the JUI-F chief noted that the alliance was not scared of anyone, no matter how much they are powerful or are a part of any organisation.

Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that the allied parties will fight a political and constitutional war instead of surrendering. “If the institutions form cases against us, we will respond strongly against them,” warned Fazl.

Speaking about the foreign funding case, Fazl said former prime minister Imran Khan-led PTI rose to power under “international conspiracy”. “A US consulate has been paying the rent of Imran Khan’s house for nine years and money was taken by India and Israel in the foreign funding case,” he alleged.

He also criticised the Supreme Court’s decision on Punjab chief minister’s election, saying that the state gets destroyed if the judge becomes controversial by his behaviour and facilitates one side.
