Fazl asks govt to quit U.S. alliance
 [The News (Pak) Top Stories] Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has asked the government to quit the United States-led alliance against terror and implement the resolution unanimously passed by parliament for formulating anti-terror policies to safeguard Pakistan's integrity."It is due to the government's pro-US polices that the war on terror has reached our homeland and now lives and properties of the people are not safe," he said while talking to reporters on Monday after offering Fateha for the souls of Shah Hasankhel, who died in the massive suicide blast. Fazlur Rehman said the nation was paying a heavy price for the pro-US policies of the present government. He said 58 per cent issues relating to terrorist activities in the country would come to an end if the government announced its withdrawal from the so-called US-led alliance against terrorism. The government, he said, should review its policies in the light of the resolution passed by parliament instead of mere condemning the terrorist activities in the country. He said the government should ponder over the reasons and factors behind Shah Hasankhel-like incidents. The JUI-F leader sympathised with the bereaved families and affected people of the village.
