Pakistan PeopleÂ’s Party (PPP) on Wednesday formally contacted Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) for exploring the possibilities to unite all opposition parties on a single platform against President General Pervez Musharraf.
Both the parties agreed to continue their deliberations in this regard, Daily Times has learnt. This was the first ever interaction between JUI-F and PPP after Benazir BhuttoÂ’s arrival in the country on October 18. The sources said a two-member PPP delegation led by Deputy Secretary General Senator Raza Rabbani met with Maulana Fazlur Rehman at his residence in Islamabad.
Syed Khurshid Shah MNA accompanied Rabbani, while Maulana Fazl was accompanied by Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Haideri, former NWFP chief minister Akram Khan Durrani, Maulana Muhammad Khan Shirani and Azam Swati. Both the delegations dwelt on the national political scenario and agreed to continue deliberations for exploring the possibilities of joint working in future. |
