The JUI-F on Wednesday announced the postponement of its countrywide protest scheduled for Friday (tomorrow), citing goodwill in light of upcoming peace talks between the US and Iran in the capital.
According to a statement issued by the party's media cell, a high-level government delegation - carrying a message from PM Shehbaz Sharif - met JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman at his residence.
During the meeting, the PM's message conveyed that Islamabad would host key international engagements from Thursday, with participants arriving from Iran, the US and other countries to advance efforts aimed at finalising a ceasefire.
