Fazlur Rehman denies Taliban’ movement in Pakistan

Monday, December 3rd, 2012 10:23:09 by

In what appeared to be an amusement for the entire nation, the chief of Jamiat-e-Ulema-e-Islam-Fazal (JUI-F), Maulana Fazl-ur-Rahman has said there was no such movement as Taliban anywhere in the country.

 

While addressing a press conference in Islamabad, he noted, “We do not recognize the movement, which the forces have officially acknowledged as Taliban’s. It was simply unacceptable to us.”

 

Going forward, JUI-F leader, in the strongest of words, warned against dubbing anyone as terrorist. “No one can be allowed to brand someone as a terror-monger”, Maulana Fazal said.

 

He said his party had always raised voice for the sectarian harmony and would continue to do so down the line. Fazl was of the view that seminaries, clerics, and students were being targeted under a conspiracy.

 

“People are tired of picking up dead bodies. It’s time sectarian violence was reined in. I appeal to my workers to thwart this intrigue”, he said.

 

To a question he said a military operation could not bring about peace in the country. “Warfare cannot ensure lasting peace. It doesn’t work that way. They have to come up with better ideas”, Fazl added.
