JUI-F split after 18 leaders expelled
Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) has expelled 18 leaders, including former provincial minister Maulvi Asmatullah, after differences emerged in the party, Samaa TV reported on Wednesday. The expelled leaders formed a new alliance, the Nazriati (ideological) group, the channel said. Nazriati group leaders have blamed Fazlur Rehman and Maulana Ashrafi for the split, saying they had revolted against the party and violated its traditions, the channel said. The channel quoted its sources as saying that former MNA Hafiz Hussain Ahmad was covertly supporting the new alliance and the confrontation was likely to grow. Posted by: Fred 2008-01-17 |
