Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl chief Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman has said he does not trust the National Accountability Bureau as it was formed during the tenure of a dictator.
“The bureau was formed to avenge politicians,” Fazal said while talking to the media in Multan. “[NAB] should instead be left to work independently.”
About articles 62 and 63 of the Constitution, Fazal said the laws are not wrong but it was their use that had created a controversy.
The JUI-F chief spoke about his party’s terms with Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, saying they were allies and would support Nawaz Sharif’s wife Kulsoom Nawaz in NA-120 by-election.
However, about Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Fazal said the party had no future. “They tried to bring western ways in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, but were rejected,” the JUI-F chief maintained.
While speaking about the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, the JUI-F chief said they were neither against a separate province for the tribespeople nor did they oppose reforms in the region.
“We want the issue of Fata to be mulled in political and social circles so that if there are any negatives aspects of the matter, they should come to the fore,” Fazal said.
