In a news conference at Peshawar Press Club, Haq said Pakistan is currently facing a critical situation, with the army engaged in operations in the tribal areas and some political parties “busy dancing” for a revolution.
He said his party was in favour of a “real revolution” but the ones advocating it at present should clear their concept of one. “No party is sincere. Everyone is fighting for their own interest and want to reach the Parliament.”
The maulana also criticised the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, adding its chief Imran Khan and Pakistan Awami Tehreek chief Dr Tahirul Qadri should first clear their concept about a revolution.
“I visited the mountainous areas and faced many hurdles in the bid to talk with the Taliban, but my efforts were rejected in seconds,” said Haq, adding he has always been in favour of holding peace talks with the Taliban.
About internally displaced persons, Haq said one million people have been displaced from Waziristan but political leaders are too busy fighting for their own interests.
