JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has made it clear that his party “will not pick up weapons” but merely protest within the ambits of the law and take their movement forward if they choose to not sit in the parliament.

Speaking on a Geo News programme, he again invited political parties that were part of PDM to sit on the opposition benches with JUI-F instead of burying their politics by forming a government.

“Our rights have been snatched for PTI in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, different political parties in Balochistan, for PPP in Sindh, and for PML-N in Punjab,” he said. “We were told that leave a seat and you will be accommodated somewhere else.”
