JUI finds it hard to keep coalition with PPP: Fazal-ur-Rehman

Jamiaat-E-Ulemai Islam chief Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman has said on Monday that Asif Ali Zardari’s remarks regarding PPP-PML-N agreements have developed new situation of non-trust, adding JUI now find it difficult to keep the coalition with the PPP.

He was talking to media persons during visit to relief camps set up in Peshawar.

Rehman expressed his concerns over remarks of Asif Ali Zardari about political agreements signed with the PML-N. It was his message to all political powers of the country, he commented.

Meeting of JUI’s Central Working Committee has been called to review the present situation, he said, adding Asif Ali Zardari will be asked to explain his position with the JUI.

JUI chief further said JUI would neither vote nor oppose resolution to be tabled in NWFP Assembly on Zardari’s election as president.

About PML-N, he said his party has nothing against Nawaz league. “Our party was made part of ruling coalition on the condition that operation in tribal areas would be stopped,” Rehman said.

He demanded that government should hold talks to resolve issues in this regard.
