ISLAMABAD: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman criticized the government policy over Fata, saying the Parliament posed threat to sharia, Geo News reported Thursday.

Giving his remarks at National Assembly floor, the JUI-F chief said the decisions today are being made in the country on foreign pressure.

Maulana Fazl said his party joined government for Islamic legislation; all including the president assured of the legislation; but, no headway achieved in this direction despite the passage of a complete year.

He continued democracy was not at jeopardy; instead, its sharia that was at threat by the Parliament.

The resolution passed by the Parliament to review war on terror, is being ridiculed, Fazl stressed adding Fata was claimed to be peaceful; but, not a single soldier was recalled from there.
