Peshawar:
The head of Jui-F Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that efforts were underway to stop the Chinese-Pakistani Economic Corridor (CPEC) project to serve foreign interests. He warned that Saper the CPEC will mean closing all economic avenues for Pakistan.
“International powers interfere in Pakistani policy and the CPEC itinerary is clogged to serve foreign interests,” said the head of Jeu-F on Sunday, addressing the provincial council of his party in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Capital.
CPEC – including a network of road and rail links – is part of the Chinese belt and road initiative, a global infrastructure development strategy adopted by Beijing in 2013.
Referring to previous grievances against the government of Imran Khan, he said that the current administration had not changed the policy either. He said that activists did not arrive spontaneously but were brought and that the foreign powers were deeply involved in Pakistan’s political affairs.
“These conditions are manufactured, not organic,” he said.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman said the country lacked peace and security and that ordinary life had become dangerous. “Today, leaving the house and returning safely is considered to be lucky. The ruthless killers wander freely while the state seems helpless,” he said.
During her speech, Fazl described the KP government of PTI as corrupt and corrupt. He said that those who patronize the provincial government are also accomplices to destroy the province.
He said real governance did not exist in the province and that bad governance had prevailed. The people imposed on the province, he said, were brought by the establishment.
FAZL also accused state actors of having admitted that certain parties, including JUI-F, were deprived of their legitimate seats in the National Assembly and in the provincial legislatures during the last elections.
He said that the party insisted that the province – as the owner of its mineral resources – and that future generations should not be deprived of their rights in legislation.
He warned that if the laws are supervised in a way that deprived the local population of their rights, the JUI-F would resist. He warned of attempts to introduce a bill on mines and minerals in Balutchistan and the KP which would erode the rights of the provinces under article 73 of the 1973 Constitution.
FAZL said JUI-F exceeds the Constitution and national survival.
“We are not supporters of firearms politics. We support the statements of all schools of thought. Our position is clear and firm-we fight the battle for the survival of the country and for the supremacy of the law,” he said.
The provincial council meeting was also discussed by the Province A Ameer Maulana Ataur Rehman, the provincial secretary general Maulana Ataul Haq, Mufti Nasir Mahmood and the engineer Ziaur Rehman. The council approved a conference for Mufti Mahmood in Di Khan on October 16.
