No one to be allowed to play politics on Malala issue: Fazl

Chief, JUI-F, Maulana Fazlur Rehman said on one hand hue and cry was being raised on Malala incident and on the other hand establishment and media were keeping mum over atrocities being perpetrated by US on Aafia Siddiqui.
He said this while addressing condolence reference held on Saturday on the occasion of death of Ziad Akram Durrani, member of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Assembly.
The JUI-F chief held the children who had been killed in drone attacks in seminaries at FATA and Aafia Siddiqui were also beacon of knowledge. It was matter of regret that Pakistani establishment and media were silent over the brutalities being perpetrated by US on them, he underlined.
Taliban attack on Malala was not correct but we will not allow any one to play politics on Malala issue, he held.
Those who are criticizing us with reference to friendly opposition should understand it well that his party was participating in the politics only for the sake of state, he remarked.
He lamented legislation was being made in the assembly with regard to NGOs while the recommendations evolved by Council for Islamic Ideology had not been tabled in the assembly.
