While addressing the ceremony, Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that while he is not against new technology, it should always be used for the benefit of humanity. He added that Western culture continues to target religious parties. He further remarked that since the creation of Pakistan, both the establishment and Western forces have been working against religious seminaries.

The JUI-F chief also spoke about the issue of seminaries' registration, asserting that they are not against modern education but that the division within the government had caused problems. Maulana Fazlur Rehman emphasized that his party would continue to defend religious seminaries and assured that they were not against modern knowledge. He also mentioned that as a political party, they support negotiations, provided they are conducted with sincerity. The JUI-F leader concluded by stating that efforts are being made to pave the way for a military operation in Kurram.
