JUI-F Chief Fazlur Rehman Criticizes Pakistan Army's Political Role and Use of Martyrs
JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman criticized Pakistan's military leadership for politicizing the armed forces and misusing the sacrifices of Kargil martyrs to conceal institutional failures. He urged the military to focus on its constitutional duties rather than political control, emphasizing clear jurisdiction among institutions. Rehman also opposed involving civilians in armed militias, warning such moves could foster long-term hostility toward the state. His remarks mark a notable shift from his previous cooperative stance toward the military.
