Fazlur Rehman offers peace talks

Meanwhile, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, head of Pakistan’s Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F), has stated that he is ready to mediate peace talks between the two countries, but the war must first be stopped. He said that in such circumstances, talks will be fruitless. First, a ceasefire and then an end to the propaganda war are necessary. Fazlur Rehman admitted that Pakistan and Afghanistan are very important for each other, but if firing continues on the border, then the people of both countries will suffer the biggest loss.
