Tall claims?: JUI-F only party with footprint in tribal areas, says leader

DI KHAN:

 Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa chief Maulana Gul Nasib said his party is the only political force in the country to have a footprint in the tribal areas.

He was addressing a two-day workers’ convention in Wana, South Waziristan Agency which ended on Friday.

Nasib said, “The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government is corrupt to the core and not interested in any genuine development work in the province.” He added the people of the province will soon revolt against Imran Khan.

Speaking at Darul Uloom Waziristan in Wana Bazaar, the JUI-F leader said the presence of religious parties in the National Assembly has been the floodgate against anti-Islamic legislation. Nasib said he will counter the PTI supremo’s “westernised agenda” on all fronts.

Party activists and clerics from Spin, Shakai, Birmal, Kari Kot, Azam Warsak and adjoining areas participated in the two-day training event.
