\nCommenting on Caretaker Interior Minister Sarfraz Bugti\u2019s statement about a security threat to Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the JUI-F spokesperson on Saturday asked the government fulfil its responsibility and stop spreading panic and fear.
\nThey would resist every conspiracy to keep the party and its leadership out of the elections, he made it clear after Bugti said on Friday that Fazl faced a security, but added that the government would spare no effort to ensure a peaceful atmosphere during the electioneering and on the polling day in the country.
\nIn a statement, Aslam Ghauri said the government should explain what steps had been taken to protect the JUI-F head and announce its failure in case of the inability to execute the duty.
\nThe spokesperson said pointing out the worsening law and order was being declared an attempt to avoid elections \u2013 a reference to Fazl\u2019s earlier statement about the law and order situation in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as well as the challenges faced by certain parties in the prevailing environment.
\nHe said panic was being created among people by issuing such statements to keep them away from the JUI-F, which, he vowed, won\u2019t succeed.
\nReminding the government that providing security to the citizens and Fazl is its responsibility which must be fulfilled, Ghauri said his party workers knew how to protect the leadership.
\nThe statement comes as the JUI-F leaders and workers have repeatedly been targeted by different terror outfits in the past.
\nLast year, the former PTI chairman had admitted that his government had arranged the relocation of Taliban members and their families to Pakistan \u2013 a move which is considered the main reason behind the rise of terrorism acts since then in the country, especially in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
