ISLAMABAD: JUI-F chief Fazal ur Rehman has said that the country’s politics is suffering from imbalance, with attitudes becoming increasingly intense everywhere, ARY News reported.
Addressing the media, Fazal ur Rehman said the government’s attitude towards the opposition was visible, while various proposals were being discussed regarding the government’s approach.
He said talks between the opposition and government had taken place, adding that political and democratic forces believe in negotiations. JUI-F was not part of the talks but does not oppose negotiations in principle.
According to Fazal ur Rehman, the government’s attitude has left no room for future negotiations. He said talks should be conducted in a political manner, where some things are heard and accepted, while both sides make compromises.
He said he would sit for talks with the mindset of accepting and persuading others, adding that no one should interfere in negotiations.
Fazal ur Rehman said political forces should move towards moderation and that political people sitting together for negotiations could reach a result.
He said he had been invited to the APC today and that political parties should consult each other regarding the proposal for an APC. He said they wanted a joint APC and a joint strategy, adding that a common agenda should be developed through consultation among all parties.
Fazal ur Rehman said all were Pakistanis and should stand with the country and Constitution. No one should think that only they were loyal to Pakistan, he added.
He said holding a long march and coming to Islamabad was a democratic right, adding that PTI also had the principled right to come to Islamabad and record its protest.
Fazal ur Rehman stressed the need for a change in words and attitudes and said everyone should be respected. He said he had asked the opposition to consider the matter in detail, while JUI-F would also hold consultations.
Commenting on the situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Fazal ur Rehman said the provincial government had been paralysed.
He also said deputy commissioners were imposing Section 144 without the provincial government.
