JUI-F hints at leaving coalition
2008-08-03
Jamiat-e-Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) will review its alliance with the central government if the latter fails to stop military operations in Swat and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), the party's NWFP chief Gul Naseeb said on Saturday. The districts of Hangu and Swat were converted into battlefields days after assurances given by the prime minister to JUI-F chief Fazlur Rehman that no fresh operation would be launched, he said. Briefing reporters after his party's executive council meeting, Naseeb said the coalition government in NWFP was responsible for the failure of the Swat peace deal. He said the provincial government had failed to honour the promises made to the Taliban, which led to the breaking out of hostilities. He said the opposition parties did not intervene to save the deal because neither they, nor the people had been consulted before the agreement.
