Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman, leader of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam party, has openly criticized Islamabad’s approach toward Afghanistan.
He stated that Pakistan has failed to adopt a correct policy regarding its neighbor over the past 78 years and that counter-terrorism efforts of the last four decades have not yielded desired results.
The veteran politician emphasized that military institutions must understand that deal-making is the domain of politicians.
He argued that force should only be used when directed by political leadership, warning military establishments against acting as the “ultimate wisdom.”
These remarks come at a time of unprecedented security and political tension between Kabul and Islamabad.
Fazl-ur-Rehman remains an influential figure in the religious and political dynamics between the two nations .
