| Kachkol accuses JUI of misleading masses |
| 2007-01-20 |
| Opposition leader Kachkol Ali Baloch on Friday accused the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) of misleading the masses and being involved in political hypocrisies. Talking to Daily Times, the Baloch took exception to recent comments by Balochistan JUI chief Maulana Sherani that Baloch nationalists were misleading the people of Balochistan. Baloch said it was the JUI that was getting innocent people to vote for them in the name of Islam. “Following the elections, Maulana Sherani initially sought the release of his two former provincial ministers who were convicted of massive corruption and cheating the provincial exchequer,” he said, adding that Sherani later joined the Balochistan government and retained all major portfolios, forgetting an accord with the PML to enforce shariah laws in Balochistan. He also talked about the “drama of boycotting Balochistan Assembly sessions” last year by MMA ministers, who said that Balochistan was being mistreated by the centre in financial affairs. “In fact, Maulana Sherani and his followers blackmailed the government and stopped it from disqualifying JUI nazims who had been issued unrecognised degrees by seminaries,” said Baloch. |
