 | Deep Thought: Why is his hair always wet? |
The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazlur Rehman (JUI-F) provincial council (shoora) said Thursday that the party’s central council decision to oppose resignations had “foiled the general’s bid” to dissolve the National Assembly. JUI-F Provincial Ameer Senator Gul Naseeb told reporters after a provincial shoora meeting in Peshawar that the central council’s decision thwarted the administration’s attempt to “derail democracy” in the country. The JUI-F policy statement on the most controversial subject between Qazi Hussain Ahmed and Maulana Fazlur Rehman is likely to deepen differences between the two major component parties of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA), analysts said. The shoora meeting also asked district-level party leaders to finalise names of candidates for next year’s elections, saying, “Three names for each constituency should be recommended.” |
