Maulana Fazlur Rehman, head of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F, has denied rumors of his involvement in efforts to secure Imran Khan’s release.
According to a report by Pakistan Observer, while speaking to the media, JUI-F leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman stated that although he has consistently advocated for constitutional and democratic principles, he was not involved in any negotiations or activities related to Imran Khan’s release from jail.
The report also states that Maulana Fazlur Rehman criticized the broader political landscape, asserting that the weakness of democracy in Pakistan is largely due to the actions of the country’s politicians.
He further emphasized that many politicians have compromised on democratic values for personal gain, undermining the foundation of the country’s political system while discussing the importance of the rule of law.
During his media talk, he also condemned a recent incident involving Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif in London, stating that it is the responsibility of UK authorities to handle the matter according to the law.
Commenting on the issue of US influence in Pakistan’s politics, Maulana Fazlur Rehman reiterated that Pakistan should avoid interference in US politics and, likewise, should not allow outsiders to meddle in its own internal affairs.
In conclusion, he remarked that whether it is the Republican Party or US diplomats, the country’s policies remain consistent and do not directly impact Pakistan’s political sovereignty.
