Allah honors whom He wills and disgraces whom He wills. A living example of this in front of us is Maulana Fazlur Rahman. Before the elections of February 2024, Muslim League (N) ignored Maulana Sahib. Even before the elections, it was being said that this time Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam will disappear from the political scene of Pakistan and Maulana Fazlur Rehman will become a beggar from a political player. During the reign of Imran Khan, Muslim League (N) was having a bad time, so this party formed an alliance called Pakistan Democratic Alliance (PDM) and made Maulana Fazlur Rehman its head.
When Maulana started PDM Jalsa processions, General Qamar Javed Bajwa opened some backdoor channels with PML-N and thus the manipulation started to topple Imran Khan’s government. After the change of government, Shahbaz Sharif became the Prime Minister, whenever he needed a demonstration of political power, he sought help from Maulana because JUI was included in his government. After Nawaz Sharif’s return home, distance was deliberately created from Maulana Fazlur Rehman so that Muslim League (N) would not be considered as an ally of fundamentalists.
For a long time, Maulana was under the misconception that the Muslim League (N) would form an alliance with him in the elections as the head of the PDM. Their misunderstanding was cleared when the Muslim League (N) told them that if your candidate participates in the elections on the lion sign, then we will give you some seats. Maulana was convinced that the Muslim League (N) had decided to fly alone, so instead of debating, he left matters to Allah. As a precautionary measure, he submitted nomination papers from Dera Ismail Khan as well as Pishin. He faced Ali Amin Gandapur in Dera. Gandapur won.
Maulana won from the seat of Pashin. When they made accusations of rigging the elections, the Muslim League (N) said that the Tehreek-e-Insaaf has won against them, so protest against them. Tehreek-e-Insaaf forgot their old accusations against Maulana and started trying to establish a political alliance with him. Maulana showed caution in this matter. During the dictatorship of General Zia-ul-Haq, he became an ally of the People’s Party in the restoration of democracy movement, but in 1988, the People’s Party ignored the JUI and made a deal with the then President Ghulam Ishaq Khan and the Army Chief General Aslam Baig. got Later in 2024, Muslim League (N) did the same thing to Maulana, so Tehreek-e-Insaf people started visiting Maulana’s house, so Maulana was cautious. Instead of forming a new alliance, he announced a policy of issue-to-issue cooperation with the opposition parties.
When the full bench of the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Tehreek-e-Insaf on the issue of reserved seats in the National Assembly, the government started planning to block the future Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Mansoor Ali Shah. Under this plan, it was decided to introduce the 26th Amendment to the Constitution. The government needed the votes of Maulana Fazlur Rehman for the constitutional amendment. To get these votes, President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif went to Maulana and asked for his votes. Maulana said to the Prime Minister in very clear words that you are an experienced politician, if you were in my place, would you take such a big uterus overnight?
Shahbaz Sharif returned empty handed. After that, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi also kept knocking on Maulana’s door. When Maulana consulted his party, his colleagues also advised him to stay away from the government. During this time, some government figures continued to claim that Maulana Fazlur Rehman had been arrested in our cause. When we asked an important government figure the reason for his claim, he winked and said that Maulana has been issued orders from a place where Maulana cannot refuse. In this misunderstanding, a meeting of both the houses of the Parliament was called for approval of the 26th constitutional amendment. When the draft of this constitutional amendment was provided to Maulana, he raised the most objections to the changes made in Article 8 of the Constitution. Section eight is related to basic human rights. When Maulana expressed his concerns in front of Prime Minister Nazir Tarar in a meeting, he slapped his hand on the table and said that we will pass this amendment at any cost. Have decided. It was on this occasion that the Maulana saw a glimpse of Raunt in the Wazir Sahib’s grandeur and rejected the proposed draft of this constitutional amendment. The government was stunned by Maulana’s refusal. Why were they thinking that Maulana was increasing his rate? Maulana’s refusal shocked the government but Maulana was getting respect from all sides.
Now all those gentlemen should consider their words who were loudly telling the media that the government’s numbers game is complete. Maulana has repeatedly told the Prime Minister and his ministers that I will not be a part of any constitutional amendment aimed at destroying the structure of the constitution. Then why did these gentlemen continue to claim that the numbers game is over? Yes! The reason for their confidence was the place from where these gentlemen immediately bow down to orders. Maulana did not deny in this place nor any insolence, he described his defendant with great politeness because Maulana many
