Maulana Fazlur Rehman asks the Pakistani Army: “Did you not feel ashamed while surrendering in Bangladesh ?”

(Maulana means a scholar of Islam)

Islamabad (Pakistan) – Maulana Fazlur Rehman, chief of Pakistan’s Islamic party ‘Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (Fazl)’, has once again targeted the leadership of the Pakistani Army. Fazlur Rehman, popularly known as ‘Maulana Diesel’, said, “When the Pakistani Army surrendered to the Indian Army in Bangladesh, did you not feel ashamed ?” Earlier, Maulana Fazlur had challenged army officers, saying, “If you want to engage in politics, then shed your uniforms and contest elections.”

The responsibility of defending the country lies not with the public, but with the soldiers who draw salaries !

He rejected the demand to form armed groups of ordinary citizens to fight terrorism. While addressing a gathering, he had said that the responsibility of defending the country lies not with ordinary citizens, but with government institutions. “Why do you (the Army) keep reminding us of the sacrifice of your blood ? That is precisely why your soldiers wear uniforms. You draw your salaries from the taxes paid from the money we earn through our sweat and toil, and then ask us to pick up arms and fight them. I have not taken any salary. I will not form any armed groups.”

Editorial Perspective

It was not merely a surrender; their trousers had been removed. India, showing suicidal mercy, had released 92,000 Pakistani soldiers !
