Jamiat-e-Ulema Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Emir, Maulana Fazlur Rehman has said that the present government led by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) will be forced to resign before 2020.
He said this here on Thursday while talking to media persons after meeting leaders of the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi. The PML-Q leaders called on Maulana Fazlur Rehman to greet him over conducting a peaceful Azadi March.
The JUI-F chief also warned the government of taking any unconstitutional action against peaceful protestors, saying that some elements in the government want to disrupt the country's peace by turning the ongoing protest movement violent. He said that from October 27 to November 13 his party organized peaceful protest and nothing was damaged in any part of the country by the protestors.
The JUI-F chief while flaying the government's internal, external, social and economic policies said that a common man is unable to purchase even vegetables with his daily income. While appreciating PML-Q President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain's statement where he has indicated if the present government continued for another six months the country will become unable to govern, Maulana said that PTI government has ruined the country on every account. He said he was not seeing the present government to survive another three months.
Talking to media on the occasion, Chaudhry Shujaat once again advised the government to let Nawaz Sharif go abroad for medical treatment, adding that life is in the hands of the Allah Almighty. He went on to say that Imran Khan should refrain from taking such measures which will put him in a difficult position, adding if anything wrong due to government's attitude happens with Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) supermo Nawaz Sharif, it will be become a sign of stigma for Imran Khan and his politics.
Meanwhile discussing the Azadi March, the PML-Q leader said that Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) chief is a democratic person. "We want a system that meets the expectations of the people", he added.
On the occasion, Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi asserted that this was the only sit-in which was conducted with a lot of discipline. He said that all the parties are standing behind Maulana and he is the only leader of the opposition now, adding that a big sit-in was held under his leadership.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that his party held sit-in in a peaceful manner. "If Prime Minister Imran Khan had resigned, the protest would not have spread throughout the country", he added. He continued saying that they are fighting a war for the nation and will protest democratically.
"Gatherings have begun nationwide. Workers are gathering on all major highways. The workers have a clear direction not to disturb any citizen", he added.
Responding to a question regarding Nawaz Sharif, he said that it is extremely unethical to demand a guarantee. He said that the PML-N supremo should be allowed to travel abroad for treatment. "It is a democratic right to go to the masses of a country where the democracy is suspicious", he added. He said they were doing it for the public. Maulana Fazl also said that the government should allow Nawaz Sharif to go abroad for treatment.
