JUI-F emir Maulana Fazulur Rehman has expressed concern over the law and order situation in the country, claiming that candidates in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan are still wary of contesting elections amid security fears.

Maulana Fazl addressed two rallies in Sindh’s Larkana and Kandhkot districts over the weekend as part of the election campaigns for joint JUI-F-Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA) candidates.

In his address at Larkana’s Jamia Islamia seminary on Sunday, the JUI-F emir said that candidates in Balochistan and KP were being targeted in one or two attacks every week. He demanded clarity over the issue and said people should be informed about the prevailing situation.
