ISLAMABAD: Maulana Fazlur Rehman has vacated his official residence in the Ministers’ Enclave after staying there for more than one-and-a-half decades.
Sources in the Pakistan Public Works Department (Pak-PWD), which maintains Bungalow No. 29 where the Maulana stayed, told Dawn that the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl chief left the house on July 31.
They said that before leaving the official residence, Maulana Fazl paid all dues of the Pak-PWD.
Maulana Fazl was chairman of the Kashmir Committee, who enjoys the status of a federal minister.
It has been learnt that the Maulana has shifted to a farm house of his party’s Senator Talha Mehmood in Chak Shahzad.
Meanwhile, the Capital Development Authority has started renovation of the National Assembly speaker’s residence in the Ministers’ Enclave where PTI chairman Imran Khan will stay after taking the oath as prime minister.
Mr Khan has refused to stay in the palatial Prime Minister House as he wanted to turn it into a university. Therefore, the NA speaker’s residence, the biggest house in the enclave, is being renovated for him.

I hope the days of VIP protocols, perks and privileges enjoyed by the parliamentarians are over. So that only those who genuinely want to serve the nation will contest the elections. Those who just want perks, privileges, protocols and loot plunder would have no reason to even think of contesting.

Maulana Fazlur Rehman be preaching, not politicizing. Time to move forward with New Leaders and their new ideas; old regime of leaders have failed Pakistan or their top Leaders and ministers have eaten Pakistan inside Out. NZ and Zardari groups have left Pakistan financially hollow, time to review all their mis-steps and transfers of funds outside Pakistan. What happened to all the billions of dollars Pakistan took as Loan from IMF and other financial institutions? Who is watching last two decades of financial dealings Pakistan made with financial institutions?
