JI and JUI-F sail in different boats for top council slots
2005-08-31
The Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) on Tuesday accused the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) of damaging the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal unity.
"They wanna be in charge! We should get to be in charge!"
The JI charged NWFP Chief Minister Akram Khan Durrani and Interior Minister Aftab Sherpao Khan of trying to influence the outcome of the elections for district nazim in Peshawar. “The JUI-F should be blamed for the JI-Awami National Party (ANP) alliance in Peshawar,” Shabir Ahmad Khan, the member of the National Assembly from the JI, told Daily Times. “Our first priority was to ally ourselves with the JUI-F, but it gave a cold response,” he said. It is ironic that both parties are coalition partners in the provincial government, but they have locked horns over district nazim elections. The JI pledged support to the ANP and the Pakistan Peoples Party-Sherpao joined hands with the JUI-F to support its nominee Ghulam Ali for the Peshawar nazim slot. Mr Khan said that the JI-ANP alliance was all set to foil the provincial and federal governments’ bid to make Ghulam win elections to district nazim office. “Mr Sherpao’s alliance with the JUI-F aims at denying the majority group’s right to rule the Peshawar district,” the JI leader alleged.
They've got to rule it. It can't simply be governed.
A pro-federal government political party leader in Peshawar told Daily Times that elections for district nazim in Peshawar would be a “close call.”
"We expect about the same number of dead on both sides..."
“Ghulam Ali will give the JI and the ANP a tough time and the elections will not be as open as many may think,” he said wishing not to be named. The JI leader said that the JUI-F was making wild demands. “When we sat prior to the local polls to make a seat-to-seat adjustment, the JUI-F demanded 80 percent seats in Peshawar district which was not possible.

#2  Someone should send an email about it to a couple rival organisations as a proof que the JUI-F is in fact controlled by the Mossad.

Then we could pass the pop-corn while they bomb mutually.
