Fazlur Rehman Accuses Pakistan Military of Alienating China and Enabling US Influence
Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman accused Pakistan's military establishment of damaging relations with China by undermining investments under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and enabling increased US influence. He alleged that military officials exploited Pakistan's mineral resources by transferring samples abroad, which he claims was acknowledged by senior US officials. Fazlur Rehman warned that China's disillusionment could deter future foreign investments and criticized the military-backed ruling setup for prioritizing foreign interests over Pakistan's economic and strategic priorities.
