Original design: China persuaded to stick to Gwadar route, says JUI-F chief

ISLAMABAD:
Chief of the Jamiat Ulema Islam (JUI-F) Maulana Fazlur Rehman has said that he had managed to persuade the Chinese government through diplomatic channels to revert back to the original route of Gwadar through Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) for the economic corridor. This, he said, would bring economic dividends to the province.
In an informal talk with reporters, Fazl said the federal government must allocate a reasonable amount for K-P. He added that his party will ensure that this is achieved in the upcoming budget.
He said the government should take extreme measures for the relief of the internally displaced people (IDPs). He feared resentment from the IDPs could cause countless problems for the government once the operation ends.
Fazl said the people of North Waziristan have seen a great deal of violence and it is time to bring some stability into their lives. He added that miscreants could play on the sentiments of the tribesman who have fled the region.
The JUI-F chief urged the government to provide relief to ensure a smooth process of peace-building.
