ISLAMABAD: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUIF) will decide on the possible coalition with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) after Eid, party’s chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman said, as the alliances brews among the opposition parties, reports Geo News.
Speaking to journalists in Islamabad on Saturday, he said that the JUIF convened a consultative council meeting to discuss launching an anti-government movement with the PTI. The meeting will also decide on a possible alliance with the former ruling party, he added.
The seasoned politician leader said that the PTI’s real leadership remains in jail, while those outside lack unity, referring to former ruling party’s founding chairman Imran Khan and Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi.
He went on to say that tensions with the PTI have reduced, and verbal statements would not harm any potential alliance. He added that if someone speaks against him, the PTI should take notice.
The JUI-F chief warned that if unilateral decisions continue, political tensions in the country would escalate.
He said that the three-time former prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) President Nawaz Sharif can play an important role in the current political situation.
He also stressed the need for dialogue on Balochistan, saying if the state requests, the JUIF may consider playing a role in Afghanistan-related matters.
