JUI-F Fata To Boycott Polio Vacation Campaign Against Merger Plan
May 19, 2018
PESHAWAR: The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Fata chapter has announced boycott of polio vaccination campaign in protest against the government’s move to merge Fata with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The JUI-F Fata ameer Mufti Abdul Shakoor, general secretary Mufti Ijaz Shinwari and secretary information Qari Jehad Shah Afridi said the party activists will boycott the polio vaccination campaign in the whole tribal region and all the agency chapters of the party have been issued directions in this regard. They said the JUI-F will continue efforts for establishment of Qabailistan province.
Mufti Abdul Shakoor said the merger of Fata with KP is part of a foreign agenda, adding that the JUI-F will never allow implementation of this agenda. He appealed to the Ulema throughout the country to endorse the boycott of the JUI-F. He said those holding power in the country should concentrate on establishing durable peace in Fata. He said peace could not be established completely despite 10 years of operations against militancy.
This is the first time that the call for boycott of polio vaccination campaign has been made by the leaders of a main political party of the country. Earlier, such calls were made on small scale in Fata by people or groups for fulfilment of their demands.
