CHARSADDA: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman said on Saturday that there existed no government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Addressing an event in Charsadda, Rehman stated: “There is no status of the incumbent assemblies. I can form such assemblies myself with mud. I have no idea that who is ruling in the province and centre.”
“We have always talked with logic and expect that you will understand what we are talking about. But such elections are not acceptable,” he said.
Rehman said: “We had been asked to accept the 26th constitutional amendment blindly. If that draft would had been passed, there remained no status of the parliament.”
“One of the parties from the opposition remained ineffective during the 26th constitutional amendment,” the JUI-F chief added.
He said, “Eight of the JUI-F members had played a pivotal role.”
“The usury system will be ended by 2028 with our efforts,” Rehman added.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman, said that international conspiracies aimed at weakening religious seminaries have made them stronger. He remarked that the desire to eradicate seminaries is not new and dates back to the colonial era.
The JUI-F chief said, “Allah has made Islam a complete code of life for us. Unfortunately, our country is deeply entrenched in an interest-based financial system, with all institutions and banks operating under it.”
Rejecting the legitimacy of the current legislature, he said, “We have no desire to sit in this dummy assembly. Our resources belong to us, and no one can take them away.”
He further criticized the government’s economic claims, questioning, “What magical solution have these incompetent rulers discovered? If they claim to have improved the economy, they should explain where the resources have come from. Our land is brimming with Allah’s blessings, yet mismanagement reigns supreme.”
Commenting on the current political landscape, the JUI-F chief remarked, “The definition of politics has changed today. It has been reduced to nothing more than a quest for power and authority. NGOs have been used in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to uproot the deep roots of religion” Rehman further said, “Protecting our seminaries, religious education, and the essence of politics is our responsibility.”
