Mere slogans never provide solutions: Fazl

BAHAWALPUR: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Chief Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman on Sunday said that slogans never provide solution to a country's problems and those who were misleading the nation would have to face a bitter end, Geo News reported.

In his address to a public gathering during Islam Zindabad (long live Islam) conference in Bahawalpur, Maulana Fazl termed the resolution in US House of Representatives as an interference in the internal affairs of Pakistan.

"The US should first allow autonomy to the six of its own states that have been demanding it," he said.

He said state institutions are indispensable for the country but their interference in politics would not be tolerated. "It is this phenomenon that was responsible for tearing up the country in two pieces," he lamented.

Fazl-ur-Rehman said it was unfortunate that the country never had an independent foreign policy and that 'we have been importing foreign policy over the past decades'.
