Maulana Fazlur Rehman, leader of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), advocates for a political approach to counter-terrorism rather than relying solely on military tactics. In a recent address to the National Assembly, Rehman called for a shift in focus from blaming Afghanistan for Pakistan’s security challenges to emphasizing the government’s responsibilities along the borders.
Highlighting recent attacks on Pakistan’s military and institutions, Rehman stressed the parliament’s duty to address these issues seriously. He cautioned against solely resorting to force, which could potentially exacerbate tensions and jeopardize national security. He emphasized the importance of experienced political leaders in resolving these challenges and criticized the government’s centralization of authority, advocating for political leaders to be empowered to manage complex issues.

Additionally, Rehman expressed concern over the situation in Balochistan, warning that a failure to address the unrest could lead to further destabilization in the region. He also highlighted Pakistan’s role as a battleground for proxy wars involving major international powers and stressed the need for direct engagement by the parliament and political leaders to address local issues and prevent further deterioration.
Addressing the ongoing issue of missing persons, Rehman asserted that the government has a duty to inform families about the status of their relatives. He expressed concern that the government’s actions in response to incidents like the Army Public School attack have eroded public trust and created long-lasting resentment.
