Pakistan’s mistakes played significant role in rise of terrorism: Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman
Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman, chief of Pakistan’s Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) political party, has said that Pakistan’s mistakes played a significant role in the rise of terrorism.
In an interview with Samaa TV, the politician noted that Pakistan provided refuge to 30 to 40 million people during the Afghan war against the Soviet Union.
Rehman expressed his concern about the possibility of a war with Afghanistan, saying: “Whether there is a threat of war with Afghanistan or not requires further thought. War would not be beneficial for either Afghanistan or Pakistan.
“We need a comprehensive strategy for peace in Afghanistan, and the rulers must think about these matters and involve all political parties,” he said.
Pakistani officials have repeatedly claimed that militants attacking Pakistan have sanctuaries in Afghanistan, a charge the Islamic Emirate denies.
