DERA ISMAIL KHAN: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s convoy came under attack in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Dera Ismail Khan on Sunday.
A spokesperson for the JUI-F has confirmed the incident, stating that the assault occurred near the Ziark Interchange in DI Khan.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman was heading for an election campaign in a convoy when firing took place nearby.
The JUI-F chief was reportedly passing through Dera Ismail Khan as part of his election campaign when the incident occurred. After the attack, Fazl successfully reached his ancestral home in Abdul Khel, where he is reported to be safe.
JUI-F spokesperson Aslam Ghori condemned the attack, describing it as a cowardly act. Ghori expressed frustration over what he perceives as a lack of concrete action by the administration despite repeated warnings about the threats faced by the party’s leadership.
“We have repeatedly warned that the situation is not favourable for our leadership,” Ghori stated in a press release. He criticized the administration for writing threat letters daily without taking effective measures.
Ghori urged an immediate investigation into the incident, questioning the institutions responsible for ensuring the safety of political figures.
