Maryam Nawaz to call on JUI-F chief Maulana Fazl

A day after PPP announced that they will partake in the Senate elections, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz announced to call on Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Wednesday.

The meeting will discuss the situation after the arrest of former foreign minister and the acting PML-N leader of the opposition in the National Assembly, Khawaja Asif, in an assets beyond means and money laundering case.

Maryam and Fazl will discuss the long march that the opposition has threatened if Prime Minister Imran Khan does not resign by January 31.

Moreover, other cases and arrests against political leaders by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) will be discussed.

The meeting will be held at Maulana Fazl's residence in Islamabad.

Earlier this month, the JUI-F chief declined the invitation to attend the PPP December 27 rally at Garhi Khuda Bakhsh.

JUI-F senior leader Maulana Rashid Mahmood confirmed the development and said a five-member delegation of party leaders would attend the rally in place of the JUI chief.
