SWAT: Panama case has been influenced by the US. Pakistan has become a victim of the resulting conspiracy, said Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman in Swat on Sunday.
Addressing a rally in Mingora, he said that people in Pakistan needed to understand the conspiracy behind the Panama case. “It is not about eliminating corruption, rather it is an international conspiracy against Pakistan. Pakistan is in the process of building economic relations with China through CPEC. United States has issued a baseless statement. The world powers are eyeing CPEC. US has turned Pakistan into a scapegoat. It has now threatened our economic corridor,” he said.
Rehman said that India wanted to create an environment of chaos in the region by waging war against Pakistan. “The US is involved in conspiracies not only in this region, but all over the world,” he said.
The JUI chief also criticised Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan. “He has destroyed all institutions in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,” he said.
Talking about the issue of removal of clause from the recently passed Elections Act 2017, he said the original clause was restored in 24 hours JUI-F’s efforts.
“Nobody can change the law regarding the finality of the prophethood. The enemy is a coward and has attacked us through a secret door. Our party’s intervention took care of the situation within 24 hours,” he said.
