Furthermore, Rehman criticized the secularization of Pakistan, emphasizing the need to uphold Islamic principles and implement recommendations from the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII). He expressed disappointment over the failure to implement CII recommendations since 1973, questioning Pakistan’s identity as an Islamic state.
Rehman also highlighted Pakistan’s dependence on international aid, particularly from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), to avoid financial collapse.
Despite being former rivals, Rehman’s support for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is seen as a strategic move to pressure the establishment and government for a larger share of political influence. This shift underscores the complex dynamics of Pakistani politics and the pursuit of power within the country.
