| JUI-S divided on resignations |
| 2006-12-08 |
| The resignations issue dividing the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal has also created a rift within the JUI-S after its chief Pir Abdur Rahim Naqshbandi on Thursday disagreed with his party MNA Qari Gul Rehman and demanded the MMA resign from the National Assembly immediately. “The MMA should immediately resign from parliament now that the ulema have unanimously declared the Women’s Protection Bill repugnant to Quran and Sunnah,” he said, adding that Qari Gul Rehman had violated the party’s policy by opposing the resignations during the MMA parliamentary party meeting. Naqshbandi said that the MMA Supreme Council had decided to quit the National Assembly therefore Maulana Fazlur Rehman, leader of the opposition in the National Assembly, must follow the decision. |
