Fazl Ur Rehman says he will respect even a dog as martyr if the U.S. kills it

Fazl Ur Rehman, Chief of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F, has said that if the U.S. kills a dog he would respect that dog as martyr. 
He expressed these views answering a question of a reporter outside of Parliament House who asked him why he considered Hakimullah Mehsud as a martyr.

Despite the fact that Hakimullah Mehsud was a terrorist wanted in many cases of carnage of army personnel and civilians and he headed a banned terrorist outfit, the JUIF chief made a pro-Mehsud comment.

Without naming Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf, he said, no party should resort to solo flight by giving deadline on the issue of drone attacks.
