Fazlur Rehman Critiques Pakistan's Military Rule and Its Impact on National Policies
Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman criticized Pakistan's history of military rule, arguing that repeated military interventions weakened political institutions and contributed to political and economic instability. Speaking in Lahore, he linked military takeovers, starting with the 1958 coup, to long-term national challenges, including Pakistan's Kashmir policy and the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty, which he said resulted in Pakistan conceding three rivers to India. Rehman emphasized the cycle of weakened civilian governance enabling further military involvement.
