Maulana Fazlur Rahman Warns Against Undermining Political Leadership, Calls for Empowerment of Politicians

Maulana Fazlur Rahman, head of Jamiat Ulema Islam (F), warned against the dangers of sidelining political parties and leaders in Pakistan. He argued that the marginalization of political figures poses a significant threat to the country's governance and stability.

 

"There is no greater stupidity than considering political parties and political leaders as unnecessary for the country," Maulana Fazlur Rahman stated, questioning whether the government truly possesses the authority to make its own decisions. He emphasized that political leaders are essential for resolving national issues and called for their empowerment to manage the country's affairs effectively.

 

The JUI-F chief also brought attention to the issue of forced disappearances, labeling it a critical concern that demands government accountability. "It is the responsibility of the government to inform families about the whereabouts of their loved ones," he asserted, adding that trust in the Pakistan Army must be maintained.

 

Maulana Fazlur Rahman further addressed the recent violence in Balochistan, where attacks targeted both the armed forces and civilians. He reaffirmed his commitment to combating such threats, stating, "We are ready to deal with force and go to the last limit."

 

In his speech, he criticized the centralized control of power, suggesting that attempts to dominate all aspects of governance are counterproductive. Instead, he urged parliament to engage with the opposition and seek the confidence of the Balochistan people, warning that international forces are exploiting the current instability.

 

The JUI-F leader also touched upon the worsening economic situation, highlighting the growing issues of inflation, unemployment, and the dismantling of government departments. He expressed concern over the increasing lawlessness in regions like the Kacha area, where he claimed robbers are effectively in control.

 

Maulana Fazlur Rahman's speech serves as a stark reminder of the challenges facing Pakistan and the crucial role that political leaders must play in addressing them. His call for dialogue, transparency, and political empowerment reflects the urgent need for cohesive leadership in these turbulent times.
