No reason to shutdown Islamabad after Panama issue in SC: Fazl
[GEO.TV] Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam...the political wing of the Pak Taliban... Fazl leader  Maulana Fazlur RehmanDeobandi holy man, known as Mullah Dieselduring the war against the Soviets, his sympathies for the Taliban have never been tempered by honesty ... on Sunday said that the matter of Panama Leaks is in Supreme Court and coming to streets for protest is pointless. The JUI-F leader was addressing a presser at Lahore, where he said that the current situation is not similar to October 12, 1999. He said that when the matter of Panama leaks is in court then coming to streets to protest is similar to putting pressure on the apex court. Fazlur Rehman also said that it's not a crime to save an elected prime minister. When asked by a news hound if ’the umpire’s finger would be raised,’ the JUI-F chief replied that the talk of umpire’s finger should not be done, as this points to something dangerous. He said that no one could derail a democratic government, adding that Islamabad would not be shut down. The Supreme Court is to hear the matter related to Panama leaks on November 1. The apex court had issued notices to all parties including the Prime Minister, as it began hearing five petitions regarding the Panama Papers which have overshadowed political landscape of the country for the last several months.
