Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman hints at taking “hard decision” in the next two days to “maintain the flow of the anti-government movement”.
“Our history is full of movements […] We have to take a decision by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow,” he said, adding that he will be evaluating options to “shift from this ground to a more effective ground”.
He said, “We don’t want to worsen the situation. Fifteen million marches in nine months are enough for the evidence that how organised we have been and how [the participants of the marches] maintained the law and order situation.”
Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman strongly criticises the government over its economic policy and declares the ruling regime a “security risk” for the country.
Addressing the participants of the sit-in on its second day, he said that the government in its first year borrowed more money than all previous governments collectively borrowed during the last 70 years.
He said that inflation increased during the tenure of the incumbent government. Talking about the depreciation of the rupee, he said that value of the local currency has decreased from Rs105 to Rs160 during the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI)’s tenure.
“Poor people in Pakistan are unable to purchase ration for their children,” he said, adding that the country under the current government will further move down with each and every passing day .
