2007-10-08 |
Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Secretary General Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Haideri and Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Punjab Ameer Liaquat Baloch are trying to save the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA), which is on the verge of collapse after serious differences arose between JI Ameer Qazi Hussain Ahmed and JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman over the dissolution of the NWFP Assembly and en bloc resignations from the assemblies, Daily Times learnt here on Sunday. The JUI-F and JI are the biggest components of the five-party religious alliance. Qazi, Fazl not on speaking terms: Sources said that MMA President Qazi Hussain Ahmed and MMA Secretary General Maulana Fazlur Rehman were not on speaking terms. Haideri and Baloch held a meeting to defuse the tension between the two leaders. The sources said that another meeting was expected in the next few days to resolve the issue. Haideri told Daily Times, “It is true that I have met with Baloch to resolve the crisis although the JI deserted the JUI-F on the issue of the NWFP Assembly’s dissolution.” |
