JUI-F sit-ins

Published January 2, 2014

THE JUI-F announced a sit-in in front of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly against inflation and operation in North Wazirstan.

First, the JUI-F should know that inflation, as well as operation by armed forces anywhwere in the world, is the subject of the federal government, while Wazirstan is part of Fata. Second, I would suggest Maulana Fazlur Rehman to stage a sit-in against the killing of polio workers. He should campaign in favour of women’s voting right in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He should campaign for raising the education standard and protest against corruption.

The JUI-F must know that the people cannot be befooled anymore. Thus, it should work for the people’s welfare. The people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have already suffered much as a result of agitation-based politics.
