Chief of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl, Fazulr Rehman has demanded the government to conduct referendum in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). Briefing the media, here on Monday, he said he has reservations over the report presented in the parliament over reforms in FATA and demanded holding referendum. He also criticised the Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Imran Khan for his call to shut down the federal capital on October 30 by saying that no political party had a "lock" as big as that required to shut Islamabad.
Referring to the supporters of PTI, he said that the "Shaheen" (eagles) had become butterflies by now. Fazulr Rehman also censured those raising concerns over China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. He said that the project was initiated after approval of all the political parties.
