Fazl doesn't see election happening on Feb 8 after DI Khan attack
[GEO.TV] Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam
...the political wing of the Pak Taliban...
-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 said that he does not see the February 8 elections being staged as the country’s security situation is not suitable for polls — almost 24 hours after vehicles, part of his convoy in Dera Ismail Khan
... the Pearl of Pashtunistan ...
, came under attack.

The veteran politician's convoy was fired upon from multiple sides at Yarik interchange, the party said, but also added that fortunately, the JUI-F emir was not present in the vehicles at the time.

Fazl has been constantly calling on the interim government and the Election Commission of Pakistain (ECP) to ensure the law and order situation and also stressed that it wasn’t the right time to be holding the polls.

"The incident yesterday [Sunday] raises questions on the security situatiuon," the former parliamentarian told a presser in DI Khan on Monday, adding, "It won’t be a big issue If elections are delayed for a few days."
