QUETTA: Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-F (JUI-F) Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Thursday said the coalition of religious parties was the need of the hour and its only them that can stop US from its ‘nefarious designs,’ DawnNews reported.

Speaking at the Mufti Mehmood Conference, Maulana said conspirers were at work to create a Fata and Waziristan like situation in Balochistan.

The party chief further said the US was trying to blame Pakistan for its defeat in Afghanistan.

Opening up a US consulate in Balochistan would increase bloodshed in the region, he said.

Maulana informed that his party was trying to revive the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA).

Commenting on Balochistan situation, Maulana said faithful of the ‘establishment’ were trying to become ‘Nawab’ and ‘Sardar’ by accepting benefits, whereas his party was struggling against landlords and feudals.
