Firdous Ashiq asks Maulana Fazl Rehman to march in support of Kashmir

Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Friday urged Jamiat Ulema-e Islam (F) leader Maulana Fazlur Rahman to march for the freedom of Kashmiris, not for those who have looted and plundered national wealth.

In a post on Twitter, Awan said, Fazl considered the present democratic system as bogus because he was not part of it.

She added, Fazl claimed to be a champion of democracy but now he was trying to topple the system. "Where all his principles have gone?", she questioned.

Dr Awan further said the JUI-F chief was more interested in the chairmanship of Kashmir committee than to highlight the plight of Kashmiris.

She urged him not to lock down Islamabad for the sake of a house in ministers' enclave.

Awan added that instead of giving advice to others, he should ask his son to tender resignation from National Assembly's membership. "It is strange that Maulana Fazlur Rahman considered the parliament as bogus but the salary and perks of his son as MNA were justified for him," she added.
