ISLAMABAD: JUI-F Ameer Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Friday welcomed the reply of the army chief to Trump that he said was a courageous step. He said amending or repealing articles 62 and 63 of the Constitution is not on agenda of the government. Talking to reporters at the Parliament House mosque on Friday, he said linking such a move with the government was propaganda and creation of the media. He said now was the time for Pakistan to withdraw from the war on terror and pull out of international alliance.Fazl supported dialogue between Parliament, the judiciary and the army. He said the army chief was expected to give a courageous response to US President Donald Trump. He said the importance of Parliament should be acknowledged in foreign, defence and national security affairs.He said a proposal for stopping misuse of Articles 62 and 63 was under consideration. Continuing, he said encouraging statements of Russia and China provided a way forward for Pakistan after Trump’s statement.He said now that the real face of the US had been unveiled, the institutions should realise their mistakes. He said a political crisis was created in Pakistan and the moment the JIT report surfaced he had said it was not about corruption.He said internal instability was not in anybody’s interest. The JUI-F Amir said he had said that this issue should be seen in perspective of international developments but nobody heeded him. He said a political divide took place in the country and an expression of tension in civil-military relations was created. He said political forces stood against one another and Trump benefited from this situation issuing an anti-Pakistan statement.He said the Senate gave a befitting response to Trump and the institutions should now rise to occasion. He said the decisions made in 2001 were driven from ad-hocism compromising national interest. He said possible developments for the coming 20 years should have been taken into consideration while making decisions at that time but unfortunately ‘we do not see beyond our nose’.He said Pakistan had no margin of error in the coming 10-15 years. He said Pakistan’s economy was shifting from west to east and the country was at the first stage of CPEC, which’s why it was being targeted.He said the country fell prey to the US schemes adding that the US wanted to divide developing nations. He said the US was losing it as a unipolar power. He said China had challenged the US economically and ‘we should have moral courage to admit our mistakes’.He said in the past, Parliament passed unanimous resolutions ignoring opinion of the army chief in his presence. “Why should the power hindering implementation of Parliament’s decisions not be criticized?”He said the propaganda that the government was going to repeal or amend Articles 62 and 63 was aimed at creating distance between the religious powers and the PML-N. He said the definitions of ‘Sadiq’ and ‘Ameen’ will determine limits of these articles and discussions are underway to stop their misuse.
