Fazlur Rehman, chief of his own faction of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F), on Sunday said Jewish lobby was functioning in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and an NGO rather than a political party was governing the province.
Islam is a religion of moderation, but “we (followers of Islam) speak of Shariah with arms in our hands”, he added.
Addressing a seminar, the cleric said, “Pakistan’s environment is moderate, but we can’t let our youth to act to their free will.”
He said, “Some of our national leaders consider politics as sinful job which was a major hurdle to bridge the gap between religious and political parties.”
The JUI-F chief said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and former president Asif Zardari avoided consultation on political issues which further intensified the crises faced by the country and masses.
Fazl said that constitution of the country and Islam put emphasis on promoting Arabic language but political forces were acting against the constitution.
He said that Islam preaches harmony, respecting others and persuading them through arguments rather than imposing Shariah at gunpoint.
