PESHAWAR: Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl leader Senator Haji Ghulam Ali has alleged that United States is behind the incidents of terrorism in the region as it is bent upon to sabotage peace talks between the government and Taliban.

“The US and NGOs are trying to sabotage the peace process to leave the government with the only option of launching a forceful military operation against Taliban,” he told a press conference here on Monday.

On the occasion, a number of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz workers, led by Hafizullah of Chitral, announced joining JUI-F.

Mr Ali said that deteriorating law and order situation in the country in general and in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in particular destroyed the economy and no one was ready to invest in the province. He said that Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf government failed to provide any kind of relief to people. He said the PTI leadership had claimed to bring change in the life of common people but it could not do so till now and its slogans proved to be a total failure.

Referring to alliance of JUI-F, PPP and ANP, he said that the tripartite alliance had planned to win the upcoming local government elections and give a tough time to the ruling parties in the province.

Mr Ali said that his party will enforce Islamic Sharia in the country through ballot.
