Fazl sees conspiracy behind ‘Naya Pakistan’

Fazlur Rehman, chief of his own faction of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F), on Monday said he could see a conspiracy in a claim of ‘new Pakistan’.
Addressing a gathering at, the cleric said, “We had been given a ‘new Pakistan’ too in 1971 following the 1970 elections,” adding that he could see a conspiracy in today’s claim of ‘new Pakistan’.
He said he was well aware of the ‘programme’ hidden behind the slogan of ‘new Pakistan’.
Pointing to the of law and order situation in the country, he said dead bodies littered the space from Swat to Karachi but claimed that only those parts of the country where there is JUI-F’s representation were comparatively in a better order.
“If elected to power, we can restore peace all across the country,” he claimed.
Fazl said his party believed in free education for all and it had distributed free books among students of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during its government.
“If we came to power, we will make education free until primary level in the first budget. In the second budget, free education will be imparted up to middle level, and in the third budget until matriculation,” he resolved.
He said although there was no dearth of resources in Pakistan, the ‘ineligible’ rulers failed to bring prosperity to the country over the course of past 65 years.
