PTI lacks strategy: Fazl

ISLAMABAD: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUIF) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Wednesday opposed the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) call for a “do-or-die” protest against the incumbent government, claiming that the Imran Khan-founded party “lacked strategy” for such demonstration. He stated this during an interview on Geo News programme ‘Capital Talk’. He added that the opposition had planned the demonstrations very carefully so that they would not create any law & order disturbance. Maulana Fazl said that he was in favour of the former ruling party’s right to protest. He was of the view that such calls would not yield any results for the major opposition party. “It is not an appropriate time for the PTI to protest and constant protests would lose their importance,” Fazl said

He emphasized that every party should take to the streets with a concrete plan, however, it seems that the PTI “does not have good strategists”.

To a question whether the PTI consulted the JUI-F for the anti-government protests, Fazl denied it, however, he would definitely guide them whenever they approach him.
