  "textContent": "PESHAWAR: Unidentified gunmen shot dead prominent religious scholar and former provincial lawmaker Maulana Idrees in district of Charsadda on Tuesday, police said.\n\nTwo security personnel were also inured in the attack.\n\nMaulana Idrees, a senior cleric affiliated with the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), was targeted while on his way to a madrassa, according to police and witnesses.\n\nTwo armed assailants on a motorcycle opened fire on Maulana Idrees before fleeing the scene.\n\nTwo police guards accompanying Idrees were injured in the attack and shifted to the District Headquarters Hospital in Charsadda for treatment, police said.\n\nSecurity forces launched a search operation in the area following the shooting, while authorities tightened security across the district.\n\nStudents of religious seminaries and activists of the JUI-F staged protests at several locations in Charsadda, demanding the immediate arrest of the attackers and a transparent investigation into the killing.\n\nJUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman condemned the attack, describing Idrees as a respected scholar who had “paid the price for defending Islam and Pakistan.”\n\n“The martyrdom of the white-bearded religious scholar is an attack on those who speak of the Quran, Sunnah and Pakistan,” he said in a statement, adding that religious scholars lacked adequate protection despite their role in society.\n\nRehman said that Idrees had consistently advocated peace but had fallen victim to violence, and called for the swift arrest of those responsible.\n\nNo group has claimed responsibility for the attack.\n\nThe post JUI-F leader Maulana Idrees gunned down in Charsada appeared first on HUM News English.",
