Disgruntled Fazal ur Rehman stirs a new controversy over religion

ISLAMABAD - Disgruntled Fazal ur Rehman hits out over the recent controversy triggered by the appointment of Dr Atif Mian, who belongs to the minority Ahmadiyya community, on the government’s Economic Advisory Council.

He said: “An Ahmadi who works for the West was given charge to bring about economic reform.”

Directly addressing Premier Imran, the cleric said, “If you want to build a Pakistan for Ahmadis, it would happen over our dead bodies.”

“The Ahmadis have no space as long as Ulema are in the assemblies,” he said. “We know why this Economic Advisory Council has been set up.

We oppose this council which wants to influence our economy with Jewish ways,” he added. “This is not the Pakistan that the Quaid-e-Azam had envisioned. This is revolt against his vision.”
