The federal government has ordered the deployment of Frontier Constabulary (FC) personnel outside the residence of Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman in Dera Ismail Khan city due to security concerns. This decision was taken on the prime minister's directives for security purposes following a series of incidents involving the JUI-F chief's family members. The interior ministry issued orders to deploy one platoon of FC personnel at the residence of the JUI-F chief to avoid any untoward situation. The decision comes after recent incidents involving the JUI-F chief's son, Asjad Mahmood, whose vehicle was intercepted on the main highway by armed men earlier last month. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has expressed concern over the alleged attack and attempted kidnapping of Mahmood, and has issued directives to arrest those involved in the attack and ensure swift legal action.
