In light of the ongoing regional conflict, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the leader of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F), sharply warned the government and state institutions on Thursday to stand “openly” with Iran and Gaza, saying that “if we do not stand with Iran today, tomorrow it will be Pakistan’s turn.”
Speaking to the National Assembly, the seasoned politician voiced serious worries about what he called the region’s Muslim countries’ increasing threat, especially those that are resisting Western and Israeli aggression.
Attacks have been launched against Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and now Iran. He described recent events as a “alarm bell” for Pakistan’s institutions and leadership, saying, “The enemies’ eyes are now fixed on Pakistan’s nuclear power.”
