Maulana also demanded the culprits of church blasts must be brought to justice. The JUI-F chief stressed that peace is need of hour for whole region adding that war is not solution of any dispute.
Citing Kashmir example, Maulana said militancy in occupied valley has ended to give peace a chance and to initiate dialogue between Islamabad and New Delhi to resolve core issue between two countries.
Maulana said Afghanistan and US should also try to bring militants on negotiation table to restore peace in war-torn country.
Appreciating release of Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Baradar, Fazalur Rehman said that this step would help peace process in neighboring country.
