Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Ameer Gul Naseeb Khan said if the concerns of religious circles are not addressed, the party will challenge the 21st Constitutional Amendment in the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
Addressing a meeting of clerics and seminary administrations on Sunday in Ghallanai, Mohmand Agency, Khan said instead of hunting down the perpetrators of the Army Public School attack, the government resorted to a smear campaign against religious seminaries and mosque schools.
He said the government should hold law-enforcement bigwigs accountable and refrain from targeting religious circles. JUI-F plans on organising a madaris and ulema conference in the provincial capital on January 15 to fend off stereotyping.
