JUI-F leaders oppose alliance with PTI

Earlier, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) leaders opposed a political alliance with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for the anti-government movement, reported on Monday, citing sources.

Maulana Fazlur Rehman chaired JUI-F Central General Council meeting in which party leaders opposed the alliance with PTI and suggested initiating anti-government moment on its own, the sources said.

The meeting decided to establish contacts with all political parties. The meeting also opposed the KP Mines and Minerals Bil.

Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) leader Hafiz Hamdullah also ruled out any alliance with the PTI.

Hafiz Hamdullah in his interview on a private Tv, said more than three months had passed, but the PTI did not address JUI concerns, adding the PTI leaders lacked trust with regard to walk with JUI.

The majority of PTI members are in jail. So, in these circumstances, we cannot stand with them. The PTI leadership lacked trust in their ranks to initiate talks with the JUI, as three months have passed, they did not addressed the grievance of the JUI. We can go issue-to-issue with PTI in Parliament, if it is necessary.”
