CHARSADDA – Chief of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F), Maulana Fazlur Rehman, has demanded the immediate arrest of those responsible for the killing of former MPA and prominent religious scholar Maulana Muhammad Idrees. He also announced nationwide protests to be held after Friday prayers on May 8.
During a visit to the deceased’s residence in Charsadda, Fazlur Rehman expressed condolences to the family and paid tribute to Maulana Idrees, calling his death a great loss for the Muslim community.
