Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman said on Sunday the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) would remain intact though he was unhappy with the attitude of the Jamaat-e-Islami leadership. “We’ll present our demands and reservations in the upcoming MMA supreme council meeting. We have great respect for MMA leaders despite all differences,” he told a JUI Peshawar chapter meeting here.MMA supreme council meeting delayed: Fazl said the MMA supreme council meeting was scheduled for October 22, but it had been delayed because of Qazi Hussain Ahmed’s illness. “We are in contact to set a new date,” he said.
He said his party had called a meeting of its central majlis-e-shoora on October 24 and 25 to decide whether or not the JUI-F should quit the All Parties Democratic Movement. The majlis-e-shoora will also discuss ways and means to get rid of dictatorship, he added. Fazl told reporters after the JUI-F meeting that the government had failed to restore peace in the tribal areas. He asked the government to withdraw troops from the tribal region.
