SUKKUR: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has called out former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan for pressurising the government, ARY News reported on Monday.
Addressing a press conference in Sukkur, the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) President slammed Imran Khan for creating ‘havoc’ during his party’s long march.
“Imran Khan was given permit by the court, yet there was violence,” he said, adding: “As long as Imran Khan remains a part of politics, trash like video leaks will continue.”
Maulana Fazlur Rehman further said that he trusted the authority responsible for the process of the appointment of the new army chief. “The appointment should be made according to the Constitution and Law,” he noted.
He further said that all the parties in the country were working together as a team at present. “The country was on the verge of bankruptcy, while the incumbent regime has thwarted the risk,” he added.
“A procedure was being chalked out to reduce the burden of electricity bills,” Fazlur Rehman said.
