ISLAMABAD, Oct 3 (APP):Federal Minister for Education and Professional Training, Shafqat Mahmood Thursday said peoples were not supporting Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) Chief Maulana Fazal ur Rehman’s protest against the government.
Talking to private news channel, he said Maulna even faced defeat in general election – 2018 in his own constituency.
The minister said the JUI-F was planning to use innocent students of seminaries as shield for political gains.
“As an education minister, it is my view that apolitical students should not be used for political interests,” he added.
The Pakistan Tehreek- e-Insaf (PTI) government would not create hurdles for the protest of JUI-F as a peaceful protest was their political and constitutional right.
He said international community had realized Pakistan’s critical role for establishing lasting peace in Afghanistan.
