Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman said during an address to ‘Tahaffuz Ain-e-Pakistan Conference’ (Constitution Protection Conference) in Layyah that the presidential system was a form of oppression.
“As per the Constitution, no presidential system can work in Pakistan. It’s unfortunate that we do not tell people what Constitution is,” he said.
The JUI-F chief said that no dictator could forcefully occupy the country, adding that children of the Saraiki belt would have the right to Saraiki province if it was made.
The JUI-F supremo also pointed out that the Constitution bound the country, and according to the Constitution, Islam would be the state religion of Pakistan. He also said that people would elect a government in a democratic way.
