ISLAMABAD: The Jamiat-i-Ulema-i-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) has withdrawn from the federal government, a spokesperson for the party said on Friday.
The spokesperson added that despite being in a coalition government with the Pakistan Muslim League -- Nawaz (PML-N), JUI-F was not consulted when it came to policy decisions on peace talks with the Taliban, the controversial Protection of Pakistan Ordinance and the National Internal Security Policy.
He said that as long as the deadlock between the two parties persists, it would be difficult for JUI-F to remain in government.
JUI-F's two government ministers, Akram Khan Durrani and Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Hyderi, have also tendered their resignations to the government.

Nobody will miss Maualana. Imran is already trying to take his place. There is hardly any difference between two.
Only zardsri gave you respect and honour and you stabbed him in the back
JUI-F and MQM....not much different as far as political tactics are concerned.
I was like for how long Maulana Sahib?
I guess no Halva was offered this time
Let's see how many days he stays away from power.
Blackmailers and benefit seekers only.
now mollana sherani should also resign from CII and mollana fazlur rehman should resign from chairmanship of Kashmir committee which has been accorded status of Federal Minister in Pakistan.
unfortunately, there is not much JUI-F can do with the support they have in elections
And don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Sharif Family didn't even discuss it with their own people. They told military one thing, prepared the speech, and did exactly the opposite in the evening. You can't trust these men with no honor. According to Wikileaks, UAE Ameer called Nawaz Sharif "dangerous" for obvious reasons.
Good riddance.
Maulana Sb would comfortably beat best of the best Star Plus actors
Good. Now the government should also remove that regressive JUI-F head of the CII, Maulana Sherani.
Dood Riddance, now stay out forever please!!
News since 2008:
JUI quits government... JUI joins government.... JUI quits government.... JUI joins........... MQM quits sindh government.... MQM joins sindh government..... MQM quits.........
Topi drama. Probably did not get lucrative ministry. I am one hundred percent sure maulna will NOT levave benefit of being in power at any cost.
Good riddance.... don't do another U turn and not let the door hit you on the way out maulana!
