These issues can be solved only by political people, today the importance of political people is being eliminated. Experienced, senior and savvy political leaders are being sidelined. Their place will obviously be taken by young leaders who do not even have experience, do not even understand the issue, are also emotional, it confuses things.’
Maulana Fazlur Rehman emphasized on ’empowering the politicians’ and said that ‘Hand over the affairs to the politicians. To contain all things within oneself and to become Faisalabad’s clock house for all matters, to become the nectar stream for everything, may be a wish but it can never be a solution to the problem.’

“I still believe that if Parliament is requested to go ahead, go to Baluchistan and KP and talk to the people, the situation can be brought back to normal.”
Maulana Fazl said that the situation is getting worse in this way. I have experience since 2006 that when the state fails, we go there and control the situation.’
He said in the speech that ‘missing persons is a very important issue at the moment, people have been missing for 20, 20, years, it is the responsibility of the government to tell the family where your child is.
“I want the nation to trust the army, but these actions are eroding trust.” Hatred is increasing.’

‘We are not able to give employment to people, inflation is increasing. On one side there is unemployment and on the other side we are eliminating departments. This will further increase unemployment, bringing such law, bill or amendment will be hostile to these employees and their children and such amendments will not be accepted in the House.’

Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman: Emphasizing Political Empowerment Amidst Balochistan’s Crisis
Table of Contents
In a recent address, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the chief of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI), has expressed deep concern over the deteriorating situation in Pakistan, particularly in Balochistan. As a seasoned political leader, Fazlur Rehman underscores the need for empowering politicians to address the multitude of issues facing the nation, stating that only political leaders can effectively resolve the unique challenges in regions like Balochistan.
Concerns Over Political Leadership
Maulana Fazlur Rehman articulated his concerns during a press conference, emphasizing that the prevailing political climate increasingly marginalizes experienced leaders. “If the House will not consider the situation in Balochistan, then who will?” he questioned, underscoring the necessity for the Parliament to engage with the pressing issues of provinces.
He warned against sidelining experienced politicians for less experienced, impulsive young leaders, stating, “These issues can only be solved by political people. Today, the importance of political people is being eliminated.” This sentiment reflects Rehman’s belief that the country’s political landscape needs to be informed, cohesive, and capable of navigating complex regional dynamics.
Empowering Politicians: A Call to Action
Fazlur Rehman strongly advocates for the empowerment of politicians, urging the government to “Hand over the affairs to the politicians.” He criticized the current approach of centralizing power, arguing that such practices could never serve as a viable solution to the issues plaguing the nation.
He expressed frustration with the government’s ability to act independently, suggesting that it should involve the opposition to create a cohesive parliamentary dialogue. “I still wonder if our government has the power to decide on its own or take the opposition into confidence,” he remarked, underscoring the need for democratic collaboration to alleviate national anxiety.
The Broader Context: A Proxy War
Addressing the state of unrest in Pakistan, Fazlur Rehman has articulated that external forces are significantly influencing the country’s political and social dynamics. He noted, “We are fighting a proxy war…global forces are entering and taking advantage of this situation.” This assertion highlights the complex interplay of local and international interests that complicates Pakistan’s governance.
His charge that any political system undermining the value of Parliament, political parties, and leaders is fundamentally flawed resonates in contemporary discussions of governance in the region. The statement serves as a dire warning against considering political frameworks as unnecessary for national stability.
The Situation in Balochistan and the Role of the State
Fazlur Rehman pointedly addressed the core issues afflicting Balochistan, emphasizing the significance of dialogue with the local populace. “I still believe that if Parliament is requested to go ahead, go to Balochistan and KP, and talk to the people, the situation can be brought back to normal,” he stated. He believes that the disconnect between the government and local communities needs urgent redress to restore stability.
He also highlighted the issue of missing persons in the region, calling it an urgent matter that the government must address. His remarks suggest a broader narrative regarding human rights issues, the duty of the state to its citizens, and the need for transparency regarding the fates of detained individuals.
Economic Challenges and Job Creation
Fazlur Rehman drew attention to the rising economic challenges, including unemployment and inflation, as critical factors contributing to the unrest in Balochistan. “We are not able to give employment to people; inflation is increasing,” he lamented. He voiced concern that the current political decisions would exacerbate unemployment rather than alleviate it.
With regards to provincial rights, he reiterated that resources should be managed locally, as per the 18th amendment, ensuring that the communities can leverage their assets for development. His claim that “such amendments will not be accepted in the House” reflects a protective stance on provincial rights and autonomy.
Conclusion
Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s powerful discourse on the necessity of political empowerment and dialogue brings critical insights to the ongoing crisis in Balochistan. His advocacy for experienced political leadership, transparent governance, and community empowerment positions him as a pivotal figure in navigating Pakistan’s tumultuous political landscape.
As Balochistan grapples with violence, economic challenges, and political marginalization, the call for serious engagement and robust political action could pave the way towards a more stable and prosperous future.
By fostering dialogue and collaboration among political factions and local communities, Pakistan can aspire for a resolution to the pressing issues it faces—a goal that requires the collective effort of seasoned leaders, policymakers, and citizens alike.
