Continuity of Musharraf’s policies major cause of drone strikes: Fazl ur Rehman

LAHORE: Central Ameer, Jamiat Ulema Islam Maulana Fazl ur Rehman has said that the rulers have badly failed to stop drone strikes and its major reason is the continuity of the policies of former president Pervez Musharraf.

He said this in a telephonic conversation with party leaders including Maulana Qari Fiaz ur Rehman Alvi, Maulana Muhammad Yousaf, Maulana Muhammad Amjad Khan, Mufti Ibrar Ahmad and Abdul Razzaq Lakho.
The Ameer JUI-F said that how long the international community will remain silent by seeing bloodshed of innocents. He condemned the yesterday’s drone attacks and declared it as strike on the sovereignty and security of the country.
While criticizing over the PPP-led coalition government, Maulana Fazl said that government is claiming for the supremacy of Parliament which is only theory and nothing has been done so far in practice.
Earlier, the rulers showed their consensus and unanimously passed a resolution to revise foreign policy but our rulers are not paying attention for it implementation, he said. There is a dire need to mould our policies by pursuing national interest, therefore, government and rulers should wake up at this critical situation of the country. Online
