JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman terms attack on Malala Yousafzai as drama

Accusing the government of being a slave to US approval for its internal, external and economic policies, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has declared attack on Malala Yousafzai a drama.
Addressing the Islam Zindabad Conference in Karak, the JUI-f chief said the attack on teenage activist Malala Yousafzai was a drama, adding that there was no sign of an injury after the bandage on her head was removed.
He said he sympathized with the child activist as raising a hand on women is forbidden in Islam, but there were other daughters of the nation like Aafia Siddiqui who also harbored a great desire to promote education in the country.
He noted, “Aafia Siddiqui was sentenced by a US court to 86 years of imprisonment even though they have no proof of her having links with al Qaeda.”
Fazl-ur-Rehman said Malala was not the only one to have faced injustice. “Lots of women are killed or injured in US drone strikes. On average, 15 to 20 people are killed in Karachi every day.”
He added, “The province was turned into a battleground but the perpetrators could not be identified and brought to justice. There is no government in Karachi as 15 to 20 people were killed on daily basis in the economic capital of the country.”
He also made it clear that his party didn’t believe in an armed struggle for the implementation of Shariah (Islamic law).
Fazl stated, “JUI-F believes in a political and democratic struggle, but we have the right to ask who is responsible for this war on terror in Pakistan.”
Commenting about the recent cases surfacing against politicians, Fazl said his party had not been implicated in the Asghar Khan case. He clarified that there was not a single member of his party who benefitted from the National Reconciliation Ordinance.
The JUI-F chief lashed out at the Awami National Party (ANP) terming it the most corrupt party in the history of the province.

DO WITH ALL SECULAR GOVERNMENTS IN THE MUSLIM WORLD WHAT THE MUJAHIDEEN OF SYRIA ARE DOING WITH ASSAD’S GOVERNMENT. PUNISH SEVERELY “HASINA” OF BANGLADESH FOR DENYING THE ROHINGYA REFUGE! WIPE OUT THE BUDDHISTS AND BENGALI NATIONALISTS AS REVENGE FOR WHAT THEY DID TO THE ROHINGYA!
Why is such a profoundly ignorant and mentally unbalanced man allowed to run an organization of ulama. Of course, there are plenty of mentally subnormal ulama round the world, but he is certainly among the worse. His remarks about Aafia Siddiqui show a staggering lack of knowledge about her arrest and trial. He shouldn’t be defending her, he should be out there condemning the Talibs. But it fell to a brave young woman to do that. Zendebad Malaya.
