00:00Today, he is dreaming of becoming the superpower of the world and we are begging to save ourselves from Diwali.
00:11Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the leader of Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam Pakistan,
00:15launched a scathing attack on the Pakistan's electoral and political system
00:20and also supported Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf party.
00:25But in a very peculiar way as he praised India in one of his remarks.
00:30Addressing the national security, he criticised the unforeseen forces that are controlling the decisions in Pakistan,
00:36reducing the elected officials to mere puppets.
00:39Rehman also questioned the fairness of the recently concluded election
00:43and urged the coalition of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz at Pakistan's People's Party
00:47to let PTI form the government because it won the majority.
00:51Expressing the dismay over the establishment's role, Rehman also lamented the flawed February 8 election
00:56and failure to implement the Council of Islamic Ideology recommendations underlining the Islamic principles.
01:01He highlighted Pakistan's reliance on international countries to avoid bankruptcy,
01:06contrasting it with India's ambition to become a superpower.
01:09Rehman criticised the burden of national debt and stagnation,
01:12hindering the progress, questioning the representation of people's will in the new parliament.
01:16Take a look yourself at what Rehman stated.
01:21On February 6, 1947, at 8am in Delhi, Lord Mountbatten raised the flag of India's Governor-General
01:33and in Karachi, Qaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah raised the flag.
01:38One day we will be free.
01:42Today he is dreaming of becoming the superpower of the world.
01:48And we are begging to be saved from Diwali.
01:53Once PTI's arch-rival, Mr. Rehman joined the coalition government of Shahbaz Sharif Afrikan's ouster
01:59but later distanced itself alleging election rigging.
02:02Now the speculations are arising about what Rehman aims to negotiate a greater political role,
02:07potentially pressuring the army and the coalition government for concessions.
02:11Despite the political alliances, Rehman's critic underscores the broader concern
02:16about democratic integrity and the role of establishment in Pakistan's political landscape.
