The convoy was fired upon near the Yarik interchange on the Islamabad-DI Khan motorway on Sunday, according to Rehman’s Jamiat Ulema Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) party. However, police said Rehman was not accompanying the convoy at the time of the incident in the Dera Ismail Khan district. “For a peaceful environment, there is no harm if the elections are moved forward by a few days,” he urged. Months later, Hafiz Hamdullah, a senior JUI-F figure, was injured along with several others in a blast in Balochistan’s Mastung area. He said a level playing field was not only a matter of one party, but a peaceful environment should be provided to all, including those in KP and Balochistan.
