KARACHI: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Wednesday lashed out at Prime Minister Imran khan for corruption and hiding foreign funding worth millions from the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
Addressing a joint press conference along with Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) Chairman Mustafa Kamal, Maulana Fazl said that PTI is a “party of thieves” and introduced the culture of hurling abuses in politics.
While taking a jibe at the prime minister over a report released by ECP, he said even if the wrongdoings of all the politicians are combined, they would still not be comparable to the level of corruption committed by Imran Khan.
He further said that speculations are circulating about legislation of local bodies elections, but the country not only needs to run according to the constitution and decisions in four provinces should also be made accordingly.
He said that the scrutiny committee report on foreign funding has revealed everything about the ruling PTI. “Whatever I had already predicted about Imran Khan is turning out to be true,” he quipped.
The JUI chief said that PM Imran always talked about ideal situation but “his practical life was against his own ideal words.” He said that whoever recorded Pervaiz Rasheed and Maryam Nawaz’s phone call “should not have done so, as it’s unfair to record someone’s calls.”
On the occasion, PSP chairman Mustafa kamal also seconded Maulan Fazl and said that JUI and PSP are “on the same page and the country should be run according to the Constitution.”
