Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry has said that the government is not forcing Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman to take to the streets. Instead, he claimed that the JUI-F leader is moving towards confrontation on his own and adopting an unnecessarily harsh stance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking during Geo News’ programme Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath<\/em>, Talal Chaudhry addressed the ongoing controversy surrounding a notice issued to Maulana Fazlur Rehman in connection with an anti-encroachment operation in Islamabad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minister explained that the campaign against illegal constructions and encroachments in the federal capital has been underway for approximately one and a half years. He maintained that the operation was not recently launched and had no connection with Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s current political activities or statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Talal Chaudhry, the notice issued to the JUI-F chief was part of the ongoing administrative process and should not be linked to political disagreements between the government and Maulana Fazlur Rehman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He emphasized that the government was not deliberately creating circumstances that would force the JUI-F leader to organize protests or launch a street movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the interview, Talal Chaudhry also commented on a statement made by Rana Sanaullah regarding the situation involving Maulana Fazlur Rehman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said Rana Sanaullah’s remarks could reflect his personal opinion, particularly the suggestion that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif might believe the matter could cause political damage without providing any benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Talal Chaudhry argued that if the prime minister actually held such a position, federal ministers would not be openly discussing the issue involving Maulana Fazlur Rehman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minister further stated that the government had no intention of pushing the JUI-F chief towards street protests. He claimed that Maulana Fazlur Rehman was unnecessarily escalating tensions and moving towards confrontation through his own political approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talal Chaudhry reiterated that the anti-encroachment operation in Islamabad was an administrative matter rather than an action targeting any particular political leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His remarks come amid controversy over the notice issued to Maulana Fazlur Rehman, with questions being raised about whether the action is connected to political developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government, however, maintains that the ongoing operation against encroachments is unrelated to the JUI-F leader’s political position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
