Trump's nomination for peace prize: Fazl urges govt to withdraw its proposal
MURREE: Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan Fazal Group (JUI-F) Chief Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman has said that US President Trump's claim of being a standard-bearer of peace has proved false; therefore, Pakistani government should withdraw its proposal seeking his nomination for Nobel peace prize. Addressing a party meeting here, he said the blood of Afghanis and the Palestinians is flowing on America's hands; how can it be a proponent of peace. Fazl said the situation in the region is currently worrisome, as an economic war going on in the world at the moment. JUI-F chief said when the Chinese economy was booming in the Middle East, US was trying to stop it by demonstrating her military power. He said Trump won US presidential election with the slogan of peace but it had proven false. What kind of peace is supporting Israel in Palestine and Lebanon and in Syria, Maulana Fazlur Rehman questioned. He said when Pakistan destroyed India's defense system Trump came forward and said that he had arranged ceasefire. He said US President had invited Army Chief for dinner, on which the rulers of Pakistan were so happy that they recommended giving the Nobel Prize to President Trump.

Pakistani MP: Parts Of Balochistan Are Ready To Declare Liberation From Pakistan; 'If Districts In Balochistan Announce Liberation, The UN Will Accept Their Independence And Pakistan Will Fall'
Speaking at a recent session of the Pakistani National Assembly, Pakistan MP Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman admitted that Pakistan lost its control in Balochistan, stating that a moment like that of 1971, when East and West Pakistan fought in the Bangladesh Liberation War, which led to the creation of Bangladesh on December 16, 1971, has arrived again. Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman said: "I swear by my heart that, at this moment there are five to seven groups in Baluchistan who, if they retaliate, will be granted independence and the country will break once again." Fazl-ur-Rehman has always supported the Pakistan army against the Baloch freedom movement. In his speech, Fazl-ur-Rehman informed the establishment of Pakistan that the Baloch people are becoming independent and that this development, in his view, is not good for Pakistan's future. "If districts in Balochistan announce liberation, the UN will accept their independence and Pakistan will fall," he said. (Source:CIA) Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman (Source: X@NAofPakistan) Following is an article published in the Indian media outlet on Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman's admission at the Pakistani National Assembly: [1] "The UN Will Accept Their Independence And Pakistan Will Fall" "Pakistani cleric and lawmaker Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman said that five to seven districts of Balochistan province could announce liberation. He referred to the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war that led to the liberation of Bangladesh, warning that a similar event could happen again. "He revealed in the Pakistan National Assembly (NA), the nation's parliament, that the United Nations could accept the announcement of declaration of liberation from these parts of the province. 'If districts in Balochistan announce liberation, the UN will accept their independence and Pakistan will fall,' Fazl-ur-Rehman said. "His remarks come as the Kurram region of northwest Pakistan faces renewed violence. The region has witnessed Sunni-Shiite violence for decades, but around 150 people have been killed since a fresh bout of fighting broke out in November. "As feuding tribes have battled with machine guns and heavy weapons, the remote and mountainous region bordering Afghanistan has been largely cut off from the outside world. "Numerous ceasefires have been touted, most recently on January 1, but none have stopped the violence. (Source: Brighter Kashmir, February 14, 2025) (Source: Brighter Kashmir, February 14, 2025) The Pakistani State Had "Completely Lost Its Writ" In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa And Balochistan "The death toll from an ambush on a Pakistan convoy bringing supplies to a region besieged by sectarian fighting rose to 10 last week, police said, while up to six drivers have been kidnapped. "The Thursday ambush targeted a convoy of 33 vehicles set to resupply local traders in the northwest Kurram region with rice, flour and cooking oil, and two aid vehicles carrying essential medicine. "Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman said last month that the Pakistani state had 'completely lost its writ' in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, leading to two decades of migration as people struggled to sustain their livelihoods. Addressing reporters, he urged 'all stakeholders to find a solution before it is too late,' warning of severe consequences if the crisis remained unaddressed. "The Maulana noted that regions where governance collapses often face geographical challenges. 'We are sitting on scorched soil, and it is imperative for all stakeholders to act before irreversible damage is done,' he cautioned. "He lamented that Punjab and other parts of the country seemed oblivious to the gravity of the situation. 'Such areas risk geographical changes and become vulnerable to external interference, especially when they hold valuable mineral resources,' he said." [1] February 18, 2025.
