Fazl says 'fake assemblies' unacceptable as JUI-F set to widen anti-govt movement
[GEO.TV] Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam
...Assembly of Islamic Clergy, or JUI, is a Pak Deobandi (Hanafi) political party. There are two main branches, one led by Maulana Fazlur Rahman, and one that was led by Maulana Samiul Haq. Fazl is active in Pak politix and Sami spent more time running his madrassah until his secretary rubbed him out in a jealous rage. Both branches sponsor branches of the Taliban, though with plausible deniability...
Fazl (JUI-F) Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman
...Deobandi holy man, known as Mullah Diesel during the war against the Soviets, his sympathies for the Taliban have never been tempered by honesty. Fazl seldom misses a meal and is now so large he has his own gravitational pull...
has reiterated that "fake assemblies" are unacceptable as the politico-religious party is all set to widen its anti-government movement.

Addressing a mass public rally in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistain's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire...
on Thursday, Fazl said: "Workers have once again given the message that fake assembly is not acceptable."

The JUI-F leader, who believed that the 2024 general elections were more rigged than that of 2018, said "these governments are not the true representatives" of the people.

"We have brought the case of people's self-respect," he added.

It is pertinent to mention here that the JUI-F had also been calling the former PTI-led government "fake" before the two erstwhile political foes found an "ideological coordination" against the incumbent PML-N-led coalition government.

Speaking at the public rally, the JUI-F supremo said: "I spoke for the rights of Pashtuns and Baloch."

#1 A March 1991 Lahore meeting of Islamists was called at the behest o f Pakistan's Jamaat-i-Islami leader Qazi Hussain Ahmad. Ahmad had spent much of March on a tour of Pakistan trying to mend fences within his party which had fractured over support for Saudi Arabia in the Gulf War. Anti-American protests began to spread in January 1991, and it was the fear of alienating Washington that caused Foreign Minister Shehryar Khan to state that if Pakistan were to support Saddam Hussein it would alienate the U.S., the Saudis and the world community and consign "Pakistan's fate to that of Muslim Albania." Regardless, the Salafist Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam (JUI) of Fazlur Rehman Khalil led the charge of Islamist movements determined to reverse Pakistan government support for Washington. It was a time of political uproar. Ever since the JUI has led Pakistan's anti-American bloc, which remains significant to this date.

#7 Charging interest is haram. Shipping, handling, and other user fees are OK. A rose by any other name...
