DI KHAN: There is no reason for launching a military operation in the North Waziristan Agency, said Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Tuesday.
Talking to media in his hometown Adbul Khel, Rehman said the authorities should inform the public about any success gained through previous operations conducted in Swat and the tribal areas by former military ruler Pervez Musharraf and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) led current government.
The JUI-F chief said the law and order situation has become worse, and important government places are now targeted.
“The rulers can control terrorism if they act upon parliamentary resolutions instead of dictation from outside,” Rehman said, adding that a military operation in North Waziristan overlooks parliamentary declarations.
Rehman remarked that on one hand, parliamentarians themselves are not respecting their own resolutions while on the other hand, they blame the Supreme Court for overstepping the parliament’s sovereignty.
Commenting on the recent sectarian violence in the country, the JUI-F chief said that the involvement of foreign hands cannot be overruled. “Such incidents are meant to spread panic but the nation has the ability to overcome fear,” he maintained.

@Kaspar: I agree with you, but the problem is if you say that "Pakistani Mulvi have IQ level of 5th grader and or below", "Our politicians are basically feudal and are not concerned about there people", "Pakistan is divided one ethnic basis, it hard to find Pakistanis these days ", “Pakistan army treat Pakistan’s like 3rd grade citizens” Then you are asking for trouble. So if you don’t have the guts to eliminate the above then we can do is to regulate our Madarsa's, eliminate extremist, forget Kashmir and compete with India without arms but with trade and GDP.
Yeah right! JUI and TTP is full of CIA, RAW and MOSSAD agents!! Bravo my brother commentors!!!
"DI KHAN:There is no reason for launching a military operation in the North Waziristan Agency,said Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Tuesday." This is your opinion and may be personal but impressive and much the best to eradicate/remove/control the terrorism from Pakistan in the future to safe the next generations/youth from being the victimization and cutting the crops of the terrorism but did you ever ask Pakistani leaders' worldly master and financial supporter USA or Pakistani civil and military leaders that what do they say in this regard????

@Afghanistan: Let me guess, you got your history lesson from the new history books published in Afghanistan, right?
Yes , US is not going to leave Afghanistan . IT"s Drones will be there till there is a single terrorist in the Indian subcontinent . Modification of Pakistam and Afghanistan in to a civilized state is a must to ensure world peace .
Mr. Diesel appears to be a RAW AGENT.
I dont know why my pakistani brothers are that much against TTP while they support Afghan Taliban. This is called hypocrisy. You people want Islam for Aghans but dont like it for yourselves. Pakistan created Taliban and exported to us through thousands Madrasas but when they want the same things they implimented in Afghanistan in Pakistan, most of the pakistanis are against them now.
E.T don't just say REHMAN instead properly say FAZL-UR-REHMAN!.As far as the operation is concerned may it be possible that beholds the will of ALLAH,and if the ARMY succeeds then surely it is as such!!!!!!!.Just lifting up weapons and proclaiming don't work-out,instead you have to prudently teach the norms ,benefits and morals of the ISLAM.If the ISLAM DE-FACES due to this extremist approach in front of the lay-men of other country then surely the extremists have to be accountable to ALLAH ALMIGHTY!.
Taliban wants to keep American and NATO forces in afghan for 20 years.the war pumps in 100billion dollar in war fund in afghan.its good money to bleed the US funds and weaken Pakistan and make it a failed state and dismantle its nuclear program.
@Salaar Khan: You say that "We all know that Waziristan there is no terrorist there" BUT the drones just keep on killing them THERE! Please tell us how YOU know that there are no militants, foreign and domestic, that now run North Waziristan with their TALIBAN views!
@Iron: That's the crux of the problem. Nonsensical statements of the terrorists' apologists should be taken seriously, and they should be made to answer for them. They should be asked to be explicit. Are they with the people of Pakistan or against them. Operation is required not only against the extremists in Waziristatn but aginst all militatns, bhatta khors, target killers, kidnappers, and criminals of various kinds, including the white collar criminals. They are all dangerous, but some are more so. Forget about who will do it for the present. The first thing is to be clear what needs to be done. The second to get it done.
Maulana Diesel needs $$$ full of sacks to say " there is a need of operation". This is a good bargaining tactic by Maulana.
The combined Talebans popular slogan is *LAR KAR LENGE AFGHANISTAN, HANS KAR LENGE PAKISTAN * ie We will fight to take over Afghanistan, but take over Pakistan without a fight. The Maulana and many others in Pakistan working full time to make this slogan a reality.
Maulana should offer himself as a reformer ... he should be sent to North Waziristan, ensure lasting peace and respect for the constitution and laws of Pakistan. He should ensure that all children in North Waziristan have access to full medical help, including necessary vaccination and all children have equal right to proper school education. Maulana should make sure all women, minorities and vulnerable groups of people are given their fundamental human right to live safely and securely. Maulana should also ensure that all non-Pakistanis (Uzbeks, Arabs, Afghans etc.) currently illegally living in North Waziristan and other FATA areas should be expelled from our lands.
Once Maulana can guarantee all of the above, I am sure it will not be hard to convince General Kayani not to launch an operation in his own country, risking the lives of not only its citizens but of the men and women of the Armed Forces.
Otherwise ... he should just shut-up! Period.
If this Maulana leaves politics of money from the land of the purest, Pakistan will not have the problems that they are having. He and his party are the worst thing that has happened to Pakistan in last 65 years.
I think mawlana needs some $$$...
Firstly, it seems appropriate that army complete it's over due action (nation will not dis-appoint army) against JUI-F and it's leaders, 2ndly go after TTP. Above all, nation wouldn't mind if army collect Mullah's, give them crash course n use this battalion as front line against TTP a.It will help Mullah's to prove their loyalty to country; b.Will help reduce their over weight problems; c.TTP may like to see them being front line defenders of country.
Does anyone take him seriously these days ?
Amen
Maulana Fazlur Rehman has asked the authorities to inform the public about any success gained through previous operations conducted in Swat and the tribal areas by former military ruler Pervez Musharraf and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) led current government. For how long will the apologists of the extremist elements save them through spurious arguments like these? If the Maulana is a sympathiser of the people, he should rather ask the extremists to inform the nation what kind of Islam they want in Pakistan for them to be satisfied and lay down their arms. In fact, they have already rejected all the religious parties that take part in elections and want a democratic system. So all those religious and political parties that oppose action against the extremists and militants should state clearly whose side they are on: a modern democratic system or a medieval form of theocracy espoused by the extremist militants. The people who are already tired of the terrorism these elements indulge in want the army to go ahead with the operation in right earnest, ignoring such spurious political statements that signify nothing.
On second thought,Maulana sahib,are there not a variety of Islams prevalent in our country such as Brailvi,Dewbandi,Shia,Sunni,Wahabi Ahle sun nut etc. etc. I don't know which brand you are propagating,I have my infinite faith In the only Islam which our Beloved Prophet (PBUH) left for us.Coming to the point, please stop this hypocrisy & let the muslims of Pakistan live in peace!!
I am sure all rightwing parties and their leaders would agree with you, including IK, Sharif and JI. All of you want to keep the safe havens intact on Pakistani soil.
Give couple of crore rupees to Mullah Diesel and he will go silent as if he is on Aitkaf. It is men like him who made fortunes selling diesel, food etc to the so called mujahideen during the Russian invasion of Afghanistan and than again made quick bucks when Mush adopted a role in this war just on a phone call. Such mullahs will face the wrath of Almighty for making a mockery of religion and using their platform to indulge in politics of power, eager to sell their votes to who ever is in power. If The PPP is to be blamed so is JUI(F), MQM, ANP, PML(Q) and FATA members of NA or Senate.
yeah, there is no reason for any operation in North Waziristan but there surely is against these munafiq Mullahs!
"The leaders can control terrorism......" But who will control the terrorists?? If they are CIA and RAW Agents why would they care what the government thinks!?!?!
I do not Agree with you Maulana. First of all you should be preaching to your followers in Waziristan to stay away from extremism stop attacking Pakistani territory civilians and army. They should lay down their arms and declared as settled area of Pakistan.or they have choice to go and join Afghanistan. We do not want territory where there is no Pakistani law. Pakistan can build boundary wall Partition stop them entering in to Pakistani territory. Pakistan is only for Pakistanis not for the enemies of Pakistan. Allah has sent drones to kill them, We pray to Allah for the destruction of TTP and its supporters.Yah Allah bless Pakistan. and destroy the enemies of our mother land.
Do they still think that once the US is out of the game in Afghanistan, the Taliban terrorists will throw away their AK-47, rockets and grenades and take up axes, shovels and other tools to start a new life? Had they done it after the withdrawal of the USSR forces from Afghanistan in the early 1990s? This is how fools think about this whole issue. Given that Afghanistan will be an easy target for them and that they will be boundlessly encouraged after the withdrawal of the US and NATO forces, these newly triumphant and power-hungery beasts will rather turn their guns full-time at Pakistan and try to grab power under the cloak of imposing Shariah. Their real motive is to grab power at the barrel of the gun regardless of whether the US is in or out of Afghanistan. Ready to bet a million dollars on it.
Having this maulana as chairman of Kashmir committee is equal to destroy the real Pakistani Kashmir cause. A man full of dichotomies - speak rhetoric of anti-Americanism but never spoke against Saudi-American long standing partnership.
I second you Mr. Jahangir there is no option left. Maulana Sahib pl stay away from this issue.We are sick and tired of soo called Islam kay thekaydars( Terrorists / Extemists) Pl let people live with peace in Pakistan. We people of Pakistan WANT and NEED this operation from Army. It s better for you to do Allah Allah.
This fat brigand makes the perfect case for why there SHOULD be an operation in north & south Waziristan. The Taliban are attacking targets with impunity. The only thing they fear are the drones. Let the drone attacks escalate, attack them with ground troops and eliminate this threat for good.
No Diesel, no operation in North Waziristan. Simple as that !
Maulana sahib if you don't want this operation to take place then ask your proteges to stop killing innocent people.Under no circumstances will the nation accept the kind of Islam they are trying to impose which is no Islam at all.There is no option left for us except eliminating them.
Obvious TTP supporter, he is one of the extremists that are ruining Pakistan. They should be suppressed by the government for providing support to the enemy. The TTP will bring down the country if they are allowed to continue their attacks on The military...
Yes just blame it on the foreign hands. Don't do anything about it. Leave the terrorists alone in Waziristan so they can keep killing the innocent people everywhere in Pakistan.
Yeah.. The is no reason for operation.. After all SOCIAL WELFARE ACTIVITIES are happening there...
hehe now maulana diesel lobbying for TTP ? RAW agent ? :)
