JUI-F assails ‘powerless’ govt

Hafiz Hussain Ahmed says PM does not trust his own established negotiation committee

QUETTA: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Information Secretary Hafiz Hussain Ahmed has termed the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) regime a powerless government, which cannot take decisions of importance and alleged that PM Imran Khan does not trust his own established negotiation committee.

"The emergence of Chaudhry brothers as negotiators unveiled the powers of PTI, while the premier has been expressing distrust on his announced team tasked to initiate dialogue with Fazlur Rehman," he remarked.

The JUI-F leader was talking to journalists the other day at his residence in Quetta.

He refuted allegations that the JUI-F had demanded the release of Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari from prison.

"Indeed Fazlur Rehman expressed his sentiments over the relief given to opposition leaders but this does not mean that he had demanded their release," he said.
