ISLAMABAD: JUI chief Maulana Fazl ur Rehman on Thursday said it seems his party will observe February 08 as the black day.

“Our intentions for reconciliation being crushed,” JUI leader said while talking on the floor of the National Assembly.

“Armed men have occupied mountains in my area,” he said. “There is no government in Tank, Lakki Marwat and Bannu districts,” veteran parliamentarian lamented.

He claimed that government officers, contractors and traders are paying extortion money to remain alive.
