JUI-S gives deadline to MMA

Published January 16, 2004

ISLAMABAD, Jan 15: The Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam (Samiul Haq) rejected on Thursday the agreement between the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal and the government on the Legal Framework Order (LFO), and threatened to quit the MMA if the six-party alliance's top brass failed to meet its demands.

The JUI-S, one of the component parties of the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal, had earlier announced quitting the provincial body of the alliance which was later suspended for the time being on the intervention of its top brass.

The party's central consultative committee (Shura), with its Senior Vice-President Qazi Abdul Latif in the chair, met at a local seminary and arrived at the conclusion that it could not go along with the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal, which, it alleged, was run by two bigger parties (JUI-F and Jamaat-i-Islami), and the other components were ignored in decision-making.
