Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman said on Tuesday that the country's economy was “out of control.”.

Addressing a seminar in Islamabad, Rehman said: “The situation of our country is not so good. We have not valued this country, and as a result, we are facing hardships today.”

He pointed out the importance of voting, saying, “Vote is our weapon and power. But it does not mean to use the power in a wrong way.”

“The Higher Power gives you success when you work hard and show determination. When you embrace truth, you have got to face the hardships,” she said.

Emphasising the need to embrace collective responsibility, Rehman said: “We need to think as a nation that road success is faith and good deeds.”

– Support for Palestinians –

Earlier, Rehman reiterated on Sunday his support to the people of Palestine.

Addressing a Khatm-e-Nabuwat Conference in the wee hours at Minar-e-Pakistan in Lahore, Rehman said:: "The Mujahideens of Hamas have valiantly challenged Israel by giving sacrifices. Many of the people had talked about accepting Israel. Israel can never be recognized."

At the outset of his speech, Rehman said: "This is the same Minar-e-Pakistan, where the resolution of creating Pakistan was passed way back in 1940. Today at the same ground, the resolution is being passed to save Pakistan."

"The people of Pakistan know to protect the belief in the finality of prophethood of THE Holy Prophet (PBUH)," he said.
