Maulana Fazl decides against marching towards D-Chowk, PM House

ISLAMABAD: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazalur Rehman has said that there is no plan to march towards D-Chowk or Prime Minister House, ARY News reported on Sunday.

Addressing the gathering of Azadi March, the JUI-F said that D-Chowk was quite a small place for such a massive gathering.

D-Chowk is quite small for a gathering like this, while H-9 is an open space” he said, adding that the final decision about the Azadi March would be taken after consensus with all opposition parties.

“Whatever decision we make, we will do so with consensus with all opposition parties,” he added.

The JUI-F reiterated that there was no option but to send the incumbent government home.

“These rulers will have to go. Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) is even more helpless than us,” added Fazl.

Maulana Fazl’s two-day ultimatum expires

It must be noted that JUI-F chief Fazal-ur- Rehman on October 31 had given the prime minister two-day ultimatum to resign.

Speaking to the participants of his party’s Azadi March, the JUI-F chief said that his party and the people cannot endure this government’s policies so either PM Imran Khan should resign from his post within two days or he will announce a future strategy.
