ISLAMABAD: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman reacted to a statement made by the army’s chief spokesperson, saying, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Major General Asif Ghafoor should not “involve himself in politics“.
“When we don’t want a clash with institutions why has the DG ISPR tried to push the institution of army towards a clash with the people?” the JUI-F chief said while talking to media.
“We don’t know on what basis he has issued the statement,” said the JUI chief after attending a multi-party conference of opposition leaders at his residence late Friday night.
The maulana said such a statement should have come from a politician instead of the ISPR chief.
Earlier, speaking to media, the DG ISPR said the JUI-F chief should tell which institutions was he referring to in his speech to Azadi March protesters in Islamabad. “Maulana Fazl should take up his reservations with the concerned institutions,” said ISPR.
