Fazlur Rehman criticizes the government for modifications to the law.

According to Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the leader of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F), recent legislative reforms in Pakistan have exacerbated political instability and caused severe hardship for the populace.

He criticized the government for abandoning the pressing need to restore peace and address the people’s mounting worries in favor of political wrangling.

In a media appearance, Fazlur Rehman emphasized the 26th Constitutional Amendment’s effects, arguing that it was being exploited to violate human rights.

The amendment, he said, has opened the door for quick, unrestrained legislation, leaving the public at risk. He stated, “People in our own country are now being portrayed as suspicious to the world,” denouncing the absence of accountability and transparency.

Addressing the modifications to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) legislation, Fazlur Rehman pointed out that a contentious provision that previously assumed all citizens were criminals by default had been eliminated by the 26th Amendment.

Maulana Fazlur Rehman responded to the protest call issued by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on November 24 by highlighting the suffering of people in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and expressing his suspicions about the protesters’ intentions.

The deteriorating security situation in Balochistan, where he asserted that the government’s authority was clearly slipping, was another argument Fazlur Rehman made. In order to resolve the escalating instability in Balochistan, the government must take long-term measures, he continued.

When Fazlur Rehman visited the Cathedral City of Wakefield on November 11, he denied having any knowledge of PTI founder Imran Khan’s release.

“It seems unlikely that the PTI founder will be released anytime soon,” he told reporters. He added that although he was not aware of any agreement pertaining to Imran Khan’s release, political upheavals were unknown. According to Fazlur Rehman, “I cannot comment on hearsay.”

JUI-F’s chief had responded to inquiries about his purported role in obtaining bail for Imran Khan’s sisters and his wife, Bushra Bibi, by stating that these matters were managed “independently.” Additionally, he emphasized that the public had the right to demonstrate and that the PTI’s protests should not be stopped.

In his remarks, Fazl also mentioned that the 26th Constitutional Amendment had been reduced from 56 clauses to 22 as a result of the month-long deliberations.

In his remarks to the media, he criticized the compromising behavior of political party leaders and blamed it for Pakistan’s “frail democracy.” Notwithstanding these objections, Fazl had stated that a strong army was essential to a secure Pakistan and had defended his support for it.
