CDA issues notices to Fazlur Rehman’s seminaries in Islamabad over illegal construction
The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has issued notices to seminaries linked to JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman in Islamabad over violations of building regulations.
The CDA issued a notice to Madrassa Akhtar-ul-Uloom for carrying out construction without an approved building plan.
The authority has directed the madrassa administration to submit an approved building plan within 15 days.
The CDA has warned that failure to comply with building regulations could lead to legal action, including sealing the buildings.
The authority has directed the concerned administrations to take corrective measures within the given deadline.
Political and public circles maintain that illegal constructions at madrasas in Islamabad are not isolated incidents but reflect an organised and longstanding pattern of conduct by Fazlur Rehman’s camp.
CDA officials have adopted a firm stance, making it clear that political intimidation or religious blackmail will no longer be tolerated in the federal capital. The corrupt network, accused of treating private companies, banks and government land as personal assets by exploiting public office and government alliances, is now facing increased scrutiny.
Public circles are demanding that, following the NAB, FIA and FBR, the CDA should also take firm action against Fazlur Rehman’s camp and bring those accused of establishing family empires through madrasas built in the name of serving the poor to justice.
