Fazl reacts strongly to PM's 100-day plan
JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman reacted strongly on Saturday to Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillanis 100-day programme, which includes reforming madrassas. Speaking in the National Assembly, he said the new programme gave him the impression that the new government would follow the previous governments anti madrassa policy. Rehman warned of a possible confrontation if the government made any attempt to oppress the madrassas. The JUI-F chief also criticised the PMs announcement of the repeal of the FCR, which had been implemented in the FATA. He was of the view that the decision should be reconsidered and that parliamentarians from FATA should be taken into confidence before any final decision was taken.
