'Bring the PM's resignation with you,' Fazlur Rehman tells govt committee due to meet opposition
[DAWN] JUI-F head Maulana Fazlur Rehman ...Deobandi holy man, known as Mullah Dieselduring the war against the Soviets, his sympathies for the Taliban have never been tempered by honesty... on Thursday told the government's negotiation committee ‐ due to hold talks with the opposition tomorrow on its anti-government protest ‐ to "bring the prime minister's resignation letter" with them when they come. Rehman said that his anti-government protest ‐ dubbed by the party as 'Azadi March' ‐ is on schedule for October 31 and no change is on the cards. "A decision to take it back will only be made, if at all, by the Rehbar Committee," he said, addressing a presser in Sukkur after a meeting between JUI-F members. He, however, downplayed the possibility of such an outcome, expressing complete confidence that the march will take place with full participation and endorsement by the nation. The JUI-F chief reiterated the opposition's plans of showing solidarity with Kashmiris on October 27 ‐ observed across the world by Kashmiris as Black Day. "Special programmes will be held throughout the country and a large gathering will be held in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... on the occasion," he said.
