He had taunted the JUI-F saying a party with just one member in parliament is demanding Prime Minister Imran Khan’s resignation.
The minister had claimed the JUI-F march is aimed at putting the Kashmir cause on the backburner, adding Maulana Fazal wanted to curry favours with New Delhi, which he has done successfully.
The minister claimed the opposition PML-N is bearing all the expenses of the JUI-F’s Islamabad gathering.
He warned if the JUI-F breached the agreement it had reached with the government, strict action would be taken against it.
