In a telephonic conversation with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, JUI-F chief said that criminals and militants were roaming free while the common people were restricted to their homes.
Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan insurgents armed with mortars and grenades had launched a major attack on the Central Prison in Dera Ismail Khan late on July 29. Twelve policemen were killed in the attack, while at least 248 prisoners escaped.
Referring to the aftermath of the jailbreak, Rehman said that the provincial government had imposed a curfew in order to hide security loopholes.
The JUI-F chief added that the curfew had posed considerable difficulties for the citizens as it made any kind of movement to and fro from the city impossible.
Frowning over the recent instance of security lapse in the province, he lamented the fact that PTI was allowed to form government in K-P.
Earlier in the day, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Rana Sanaullah had called for the resignation of K-P Chief Minister Pervaiz Khattak over the jailbreak.
He had also asked PTI Chairman Imran Khan to reveal who was responsible for the attack and the provincial government's plan to compensate for the damage done.
CM Khattak had earlier claimed that no prior intelligence regarding this incident was shared with the provincial government. However, a senior intelligence official said that they wrote to the National Crisis Management Cell (NCMC), Ministry of Interior on July 27 about the threat of an attack on DI Khan jail by militants.

Every problem will be solved if Hazrat Maulvi Fazlur Rehman saheb you quit Pakistan, please please please please.
The whole Pakistani Nation is requesting you , please leave Pakistan, because you will never ever see Pakistan growing and peace in Pakistan
So would KP be better off under a JUIF government?
Maulana sahib now why crying over spilt milk.Now face PTI's government in KPK or present vote of no-confidence movement in KPK's assembly against PTI if you have majority to approve the vote of no-confidence movement against PTI and form your government other wise keep silent.......
@Xulfjan: pmln knew the threat but did not share so they can score on Ik
You have only done mistakes in your life.
@NR: they are the one who are co sponsor of terrorism for that reason APC is not held for security.
PTI should be mature enough to rule!!
give some breathing space to the new government please when it was ANP our so called "people" were asleep for five years now they expect miracles in months ....also what happened in DI KHAN was a loop hole in intelligence and lack of communication between federal and provincial government if PTI is to be blamed so should PML N be blamed for being selfish enough to let it happen
I agree with M.Fazlur-Rehman that PTI should not have formed a government in KPK.It was a ploy aginst them which they could not understand
Well if allowing PTI to form government in KPK was a mistake , then allowing JUI F to rule and ruin KPK for five years was a blunder. A blunder which KPK has yet not been able to recover from. This mad Maulana needs to be institutionalized and treated for mental impairment. He is the most opportunist , conniving and power hungry politican this nation has inherited.
Probably a Yahoodi Sazish
Mistake is allowing terrorist/militants to roam free in Pakistan - something that Maulana Fazlur Rehman and PTI both share responsibility.
@Sohail Ahmed: It was a KPK led PTI government failure. Admit it and shut it with the conspiracies.
Thanks to you and your MMA brethren for today's situation in K-P. Wasn't it you who abolished K-P provincial intelligence service? Were you brain dead that you did that?
PTI office bearer with "shame", now that would really be an anomaly.
yeah you would have made diesel free for KPK people!
What do you mean? Did you have more votes? If so, you still have a chance to bring no confidence.
When is nawaz sharif going to resign over parachinar bombings as FATA is fedral subject?. And what is the fedral govt doing about FATA anyway?
Yeah, we see what you are doing with the little power you have. Barring women to shop alone!! PTI is a million time better than the stoneage, power hungry mullahs that you are.
Maulana saab you please keep quite, PTI have a mandate, why should we listen to you, no other province is any better
Since JUI Fazlur has links with Tehreek-e-Taliban Pentagon (TTP) and PMLN has links with sectarian militants, and since both JUI and PML N are close to each other, it is not difficult to guess that only these two parties could have joined hands to embarrass KPK's provincial government. That is why these two parties are the first ones to lambaste PTI.
Also to be noted is that PML N is now close to MQM and hence, the overall capabilities of PML N to strike through militants anywhere have increased many folds.
This is a joke. They expect PTI to sort out the mess created in last 2 decades in 2 months.
I think PTI government in KPK should declare this man a threat to sanity and humanity and put him behind bars for rest of his life. He is just unbearable.
OMG! Is this guy for Real?
It would have been a greater mistake to allow Diesel to become CM. Then it would have been free for all.
@Ali Tanoli: I agree but for PTI to shut his mouth, they have to better than this!!
Atleast better than u man.
