MULTAN:
Jamat e Ulema e Islam (JUI F) chief Fazlur Rehman said on Tuesday that religious seminaries had no link with terrorism, sources said.
Rehman was speaking to a delegation of party officials from Dera Ghazi Khan in Dera Ismail Khan on the occasion of Eidul Fitr.
He said government and law enforcement agencies had been maligning religious seminaries to please their masters in the West.
Rehman said the nation was passing through a critical juncture. To secure Pakistan, he said those affiliated with religious seminaries should collectively strive to foil the designs of the nation’s enemies.
Rehman said the United States of America and Israel were the chief adversaries of the nation. He said they wanted to destabilise Pakistan. Rehman said the JUI-F was the only party in the nation that did not have a militant wing.
