Former Jamaat-e-Islami chief Sirajul Haq has criticised the campaign against Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman and his son, Maulana Asad Mahmood, over political differences, it was reported on Monday.
In a post on X, Sirajul Haq said using political disagreements as an excuse for personal attacks, bad behaviour and revenge was against democratic values and political tolerance.
He said the beauty of democracy lay in respecting differences of opinion rather than promoting political revenge and personal enmity.
The former JI chief stressed the need to promote tolerance, mutual respect, the rule of law and justice in society.
He said political differences should be handled with respect and decency rather than through personal attacks.
