Fazlur Rehman, chief of his own faction of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F), on Thursday called Imran Khan’s suggestion to allow the Taliban for opening office as ‘childish’.
Speaking to media, the cleric said martyrdom of a major general and attack on church have prompted reaction from the military, the government and political parties.
He said Imran’s suggestion for allowing the Taliban to open office is lack of knowledge about the ground realities. He said the situation would be reviewed after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s return.
Fazl said it seemed that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had started working on its real agenda over the issue of blasphemy law. He said no one should think about amendments in it, however, debate on how to stop its wrong utilisation should be held.
Commenting on the local bodies’ polls, Fazl said the elections were a constitutional requirement.
