Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman said on Thursday that PTI chief Imran Khan’s plan of dividing the country was exposed, adding that the PTI chief should not cross his limit.

Speaking to newsmen in Bannu, he condemned the killing of innocent civilians in North Waziristan and announced staging protests against the killings across the province.

Unidentified attackers had gunned down a local JUI-F leader and his colleague near Mirali town on Thursday night. Qari Samiuddin and his colleague, Hafiz Numan Dawar were going home in Eidek village when their car was ambushed on Bichi Road, said locals. Both died on the spot.

Fazl demanded the state to bring an end to such killings and take action against those responsible. “The clerics must protest in the Friday sermons against target killings,” Fazl urged.

The JUI-F chief warned Imran Khan not to add fuel to the already charged political atmosphere, saying it could result in a similar action from his rivals. “Your followers will not be able to stand [the heat],” he said.

“We do not want chaos in the country,” the PDM chief said and alleged that it was Imran Khan who was spreading chaos and was planning to divide the country into three parts.
