Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the chief of his own faction of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F), has warned the government against creating obstacles in the way of his ‘Azadi March’, scheduled for October 27 in Islamabad.
He threatened to shut down the entire country if not allowed to take out the anti-government rally.
Addressing the party workers at a convention in Peshawar on Sunday, Maulana Fazl slammed the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government for its ‘soft stance’ on the Kashmir issue, claiming that the incumbent rulers had “sold the blood of Kashmiri brethren” and were now “rejoicing over it”.

Today’s convention was held to finalise arrangements for the party’s long march that will culminate in the heart of the federal capital. “We’ve chalked out our plan for the protest and the strategy will be shared once finalised,” said Fazl, adding that the government would be blamed for any untoward incident if took place to stop the march. – Agencies
