ISLAMABAD: Expressing his discontent over the criticism of Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) to the Party of Peoples of Pakistan (PPP) on the issue of the long march, the latter has asked to convene another multi-party conference (MPC ) to discuss the possibilities of launching a full-scale anti-government protest campaign from the joint opposition platform.<\/p>\n
The lawsuit came when some members of JUI-F contacted the PPP leaders on Monday after the latter reacted strongly to the statements of some JUI-F leaders alleging that the PPP was staying away from the long march next month to please some forces to reach an agreement.<\/p>\n
The contact was established by the JUI-F after the PPP secretary general, Nayyar Bokhari, issued a statement earlier in the day, calling the JUI-F's criticism "unnecessary" and "regrettable."<\/p>\n
Bokhari said that JUI-F leaders should not issue "objectionable" statements against opposition parties that had participated in all previous MPCs convened by Maulana Fazlur Rehman.<\/p>\n
\nContact restored after bitterness between the two<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
"There seems to be no reason to criticize the PPP before another round of consultations or meetings between the main leaders of the opposition parties," Bokhari said in response to the informed statement of the secretary of information of JUI-F, Hafiz Hussain Ahmed, who claimed that the PPP wanted to appease certain forces in the hope of an agreement.<\/p>\n
Ahmed had argued that the PPP had adopted a double standard because, on the one hand, he considered that the long march of the JUI-F was unconstitutional and illegal and, on the other, it was extending moral and political support to the protest. The JUI-F leader had alleged that the PPP had raised the issue of using the religion card simply to find an excuse to escape the protest.<\/p>\n
Ahmed had said that when the PPP faced victimization despite creating a crack within the ranks of the opposition to appease certain forces, party leaders went to Maulana Fazlur Rehman and asked him to launch a campaign against Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government.<\/p>\n
When contacted, Bokhari said some members of Sindh's JUI-F had contacted Sherry Rehman, PPP parliamentary leader in the Senate in Karachi, while the opposition Rahbar Committee coordinator and the JUI leader -F, Akram Durrani, they had contacted him by phone.<\/p>\n
The PPP leader said that since the JUI-F currently headed the Rahbar Committee, he could convene the meeting to resolve the issues instead of making the differences between the parties public. He said it was Maulana Fazlur Rehman who had hosted previous MPCs and that he could also call another MPC on the subject.<\/p>\n
"We are open to dialogue," Bokhari said, adding that the PPP was still ready to deliberate on the anti-government protest mode, as they had also decided to fight against the current rulers.<\/p>\n
The sources said that the relationship between the JUI-F and the PPP became sour when he refused to participate in the long march and proposed an indefinite sitting by the JUI-F. The sources said that the leadership of the JUI-F was also unhappy about certain comments made by the president of the PPP, Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, about his long planned march.<\/p>\n
They said that the leaders of the JUI-F had taken a serious note of Bhutto-Zardari's statements during his press conference last week that he was not participating in the JUI-F protest sitting since he did not want to become in a "maulvi". & # 39 ;.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a press conference after chairing a meeting of the central party committee in Islamabad on September 19, Bhutto-Zardari had ruled out the possibility of joining the long march.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don't want to do dharna policy. I want to do Shaheed Benazir Bhutto's policy. Why do you want me to become a maulvi? \u201d, The PPP president had said in response to a question about why the party was escaping from the JUI-F anti-government protest.<\/p>\n
Bhutto-Zardari said he had already announced the "moral support" of his party for the long march of the JUI-F. He said how he could believe that military leadership would not play the same role he had played during the PNA (Pakistan National Alliance) movement that led to the imposition of martial law in 1977.<\/p>\n
The PPP president had declared that he had asked certain questions before the Maulana before making a decision on participation in the long march, but so far he had not received any response.<\/p>\n
