He said law enforcement agencies were examining all possible aspects of the attack and analysing evidence collected from the scene to identify the perpetrators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman expressed deep grief and sorrow over the killing. In a statement, he described Maulana Sultan Muhammad Wazir as a sincere and courageous party leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the attack was not only aimed at an individual but was an assault on moderate, peaceful and democratic thought, which JUI-F has upheld through decades of political struggle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PESHAWAR: Senior Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) leader Maulana Sultan Muhammad Wazir was martyred after sustaining critical injuries in an improvised explosive device (IED) blast in South Waziristan on Saturday, police said.&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":271,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[137,134,60,135,136],"class_list":["post-270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan","tag-blast","tag-jui-f","tag-kpk","tag-peshawar","tag-south-waziristan"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
