Fazlu Rehman doing what he does best: Will not back constitutional amendment in current form

Will not back constitutional amendment in current form: Fazlur Rehman - Pakistan - DAWN.COM

Says that this bill is an FIR against Madresshas. He needs a bone in his mouth or a kick on his butt. And history shows that he normally gets a bone before he shuts up.
This time however, he needs the bone up in his behind and not in the mouth. Lets see how COAS deals with this very predictable situation.

BTW, how many seats this blackmailer has in the Senate? OK, I found it. This Talibani dog has a total of 7 seats in the Senate. Lets see.

his 5 seat dont make any difference. he need a dhutkar a few times so he can see his real value

Its the same with most religious parties. They never manage to win seats fair and square but somehow they have immense street power and that's their trump card. Though its not going to work against military.

Off topic; I wonder if there is any detailed study about religious parties in Pakistan. They always get few select constituencies in every election. Majority of Punjabis are decidedly center right or center. KPK swings from left to center right to far right (far right in case of MMA but that is debatable because Mush was in power then). Sindhis decidedly left. Karachi is whatever MQM is. Balochistan and GB vote on local influence. Azad Kashmir same I guess.

My point is that how come these religious parties like JI, JUI etc have so much clout? They have street power (thanks to hundreds of thousands of madressah drones) but beyond that what legitimate claim do they have?

I think he is scared that his street rule will be in danger.Mostly his supporters are brainwashed people.

Have you seen an ant? It looks pretty harmless and unnoticeable when crawling on ground. However, you see it through a magnifying glass and all of a sudden, it looks dangerous with strange kind of alien-like feature etc. Our religious parties are like this. Pretty insignificant, but because they have been used and supported by the military to fight proxy wars, they appear dangerous. They have not much clout as such but this is an impression that we get and same is true for their street power. They look dangerous not because they are really monsters but because they are largely unopposed, atleast so far. See what happened to JI in Karachi? JI still has street power in Karachi but to what avail? Their power and influence in Karachi vanished like ice melts in under the sun. All we need is to mobilize the civil society and their impression of being monsters or 'galli ka ghunda' will fade away with time.

Who, in your opinion, will oppose them? So far PTI has proved to be a clean shaved face of JI. Civil society, so far, doesn't really have any incentive to stand up to them like they did for lawyer's movement. We saw some brave souls stand up to Lal Masjid in Islamabad recently, but that was it. Let's hope this momentum continues against the likes of Lal Masjid, JI, JUI etc.

Civil society? Does it exist anymore to be effective against this tide of religiosity in Pakistan?
 
.
Cant they pass the amendment without his consent..? He has any veto Power..?
 
.
Please hang him also.. we dont need him not even in Pakistan but in this world also..

He might not hold any sway within the assembly, but let's not forget that he has a huge following throughout Pakistan...and he can stir up the religious card.

So he would have to be 'persuaded' but either the politicians or otherwise the COAS.

i agree. although, i don't think that he would have to be persuaded, but instead the bill will have to be changed. his constituency and the demography he represents is unarguably the most significant when it comes to war on terror.
