Peshawar (Pakistan News): Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi has criticised Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, saying that he advises others to uphold justice but is himself occupying a property.
Speaking to journalists at the Governor House in Peshawar, Faisal Karim Kundi said Maulana Fazlur Rehman enjoys eating halwa himself but prevents others from doing so.
He said the friendship between Maulana Fazlur Rehman and Asif Ali Zardari did not mean that Mr Zardari would protect him in matters related to corruption.
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa governor said allegations of corruption against Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s son in the National Highway Authority should also be investigated and accounted for. According to him, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam benefited the most during the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) government.
Faisal Karim Kundi said that during the PDM government, JUI-F was given ministries of its choice, including Religious Affairs, Housing and Communications. In his view, hardly any major ministry was left that had not been allocated to the party.
He added that if the corruption allegations were proven, the individuals concerned would have to face the consequences.
