Fazl denies facing pressure to quit govt
 [The News (Pak)] Maulana Fazlur Rehman of the JUI-F on Thursday denied that he was facing pressure from his party to part ways with the ruling coalition over the ongoing military operation in the Malakand Division and elsewhere. "There is no truth in reports that my party is exerting pressure on me to quit the government over the use of force against the militants," Maulana Fazl said during an informal chat with The News here at a local hotel after speaking at a Kashmir moot. He maintained that the recent central executive committee meeting had unanimously decided to oppose the military operation while remaining a part of the ruling set-up. JUI-F insiders, however, had a totally different viewpoint and insisted that the majority of the CEC members had strongly advocated leaving the government over the use of power to resolve issues.
