“Jamaat-e-Islaam-Fazl (JUI-F) Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman tried to divide the nation by distorting the facts. There is no outcry to be heard against the terrorists from the Maulana,” said MQM leader Qamar Mansoor on Thursday.
Addressing a press conference held in Karachi, Mansoor said, “Religious seminaries are bringing the righteous message of Islam, but a few narrow minded clerics like Maulana Fazl are ‘selling’ religious teachings to create friction between sects and are misusing mosques and religious institutions for their ulterior motives.”
“There are websites available which encourage people to do jihad every day, they encourage people to become mass murderers of shia and the people from other religious sects,” claimed Mansoor, “but I say this with a heavy heart that Maulana Fazl is silent on these matters.”
“Maulana’s news conference betrays victims of the army public school [attack].”
Saluat Mirza’s sentence to be challenged
Speaking about Saulat Mirza, who is on death row, the MQM leader said that his family will be mounting a legal challenge to his sentence.
“The case of Saulat Mirza is of political significance and his family has filed a petition with the help of a prominent lawyer. They have the same right to justice as every other citizen of Pakistan.”
Mansoor, who is also the caretaker in-charge of MQM’s Rabita Committee, congratulated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan on his marriage with Reham Khan.

When the nation is heading the right direction, someone is always there to allude the citizens, last time it was PTI and now its JUIF. Time for us to think, who stands with the nation and who stands with its enemies.
People should simply ignore Fazlur Rehman, the diesel Mullah. He gets undue importance not really due to him.
The pot calling the kettle black.
Saulat Mirza & Ajmal Pahari
