ISLAMABAD: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has warned that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, facing growing isolation at home, may once again resort to aggressive actions against Pakistan in a bid to save face.
Speaking during a session of the National Assembly, Fazlur Rehman said, “Members of India’s own parliament are mocking the Modi government. He stands alone, without real public support. It wouldn’t be surprising if he attempts something reckless again just to protect his image.”
He criticized India’s response to the recent Pahalgam incident, stating that New Delhi quickly blamed Pakistan without conducting any investigation. “India’s military failure was turned into a false narrative of cross-border aggression. They fired missiles at our civilians and religious sites. This was unjustifiable,” he said.
Fazlur Rehman lauded Pakistan’s armed forces for their measured and effective response. “The way our military defended the nation will be remembered in history. I pay tribute to our forces. At this time, national unity must be our strength,” he added.
Highlighting broader geopolitical shifts, the JUI-F leader pointed to China’s increasing role in Pakistan’s defence landscape. “China, which was our economic partner, is now standing with us in the defence sector. Their technology has proven superior to that of Europe and Israel. The world witnessed how our pilots used it effectively,” he said.
He further urged that peace be maintained along the Afghanistan border, noting the importance of internal stability. “We held million marches in Peshawar and Quetta to show the world that the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan are very much alive and politically aware.”
