ISLAMABAD -- The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) on Sunday warned the government of cancelling the agreement if it continues to detain the leaders and workers of the party.

While addressing the Kashmir Rally here, JUI-F Secretary General Abdul Ghafoor Haideri said that what the government was doing with them was beyond anybody's thinking, saying that such attitude of the government can break off the deal with it.

He said that the incumbent government was responsible for what India has done with the special status of Kashmir.

In his comments on the detention of the leaders, he said that the government should stop arresting the JUI-F leaders as they were holding their protest peacefully.
