KALAT: Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam (JUI-F) Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman said on Sunday that their party will not allow Pakistan’s slavery to the United States. Kashmir and Afghanistan issues are denting the country, DawnNews reported.

The JUI-F chief said that Pakistan’s military will have to distance itself from politics and governance of the country.

Addressing a public meeting in Kalat, Fazl said that Pakistan will have to cut down its defence budget.

He said ‘In the illusion of a free society, our youth is being led towards moral degradation. But we will not allow Pakistan’s submission towards the west, he added.

Reiterating the JUI-F’s stance, he said “those in government will have to make sure that Sharia laws are followed in the country.”
