JUI-F Stages Second Protest Wave Over Killing Of Maulana Idrees
Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl held a second round of protests across Pakistan on Friday over the killing of Maulana Idrees, escalating the party's campaign to demand accountability and justice for the slain religious scholar. The demonstrations drew significant turnout in multiple cities, underscoring the depth of anger within the party's rank and file.
Maulana Idrees' killing has become a rallying point for JUI-F, which has accused state authorities of failing to act decisively against those responsible. The party's leadership has framed the case as emblematic of broader concerns over the security of religious figures in the country.
The second consecutive round of protests signals that JUI-F intends to sustain public pressure until its demands for justice are met. Party leaders reportedly warned that agitation would intensify if no concrete steps were taken by the government in the coming days.
The unrest adds to an already complex political environment, with JUI-F's street mobilisation capable of putting additional strain on the ruling coalition's stability. Authorities have so far not issued a formal public response to the latest round of demonstrations.
