Pakistan’s Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Friday (October 31, 2025) expressed displeasure at the Pakistani Army. Pashtun Maulana, while talking about the current stance of Field Marshal Asim Munir’s army regarding Afghanistan, warned that Pakistan cannot afford another war of its own making.
He said, ‘Let us not forget the Bangladesh war of 1971 and the Kargil war of 1999, these are big examples of reckless military operations by the Pakistan Army, which were led by former President and Army Chief Pervez Musharraf and others and which caused huge damage to the country’s global reputation.’
Pak Army should focus on real issues: Rehman
Pashtun Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that instead of unnecessarily fighting on the border, Pakistan Army should focus on real issues like terrorism, economic crisis and stability of governance in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He criticized the tendency of the army to create fear among the people of the country and said that this is absolutely wrong.
He said that Islam does not like unjust aggression against any Muslim neighbour. He indirectly termed the Pakistani Army’s stance towards Afghanistan as un-Islamic and politically suicidal.
It is being said that this statement given by Pashtun Maulana Fazlur Rehman can prove to be helpful in creating strategic pressure for India. Indian intelligence agencies are considering this as part of a broader psychological response to the Afghan Taliban. The voices of religious leaders like Fazlur Rehman will weaken Pakistan’s internal war narrative.
Maulana wants to visit India
Pakistan’s Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman wishes to visit India. He calls this carrying the message of peace in his own words. This was revealed by MP Kamran Murtaza, a close associate of Maulana, during a TV interview. Murtaza claimed that he had personally delivered Maulana Rehman’s peace message to an Indian diplomat.
