ISLAMABAD: The chief of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Maulana Fazlur Rehman has once again rejected the proposal for legislative extension of the chief justice’s term.
According to the sources, the Prime Minsiter Shehbaz Sharif met JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman to discuss proposed constitutional amendments.
The meeting, held at Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s residence on Friday night, was meant to agree on cooperation on constitutional reforms.
Despite the discussion, Maulana Fazl did not give a positive response to the extension proposal.
He reiterated JUI-F’s rejection of legislation for an individual’s benefit.
Instead, he emphasised the need for judicial reforms and suggested that the government should present a comprehensive package.
Earlier, the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) leader ruled out any possibility of imposing Governor’s Rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
He told journalists in the National Assembly that the law and order situation in KP was not good. “Can the governor control such a situation,” he asked.
He said KP CM’s statement about talks with Afghanistan was an emotional one and far from reality.
