Lahore, Dec 1: Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the chief of the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam, has termed India’s attitude as undiplomatic after the Mumbai terror strikes that killed 195 people.
He said New Delhi had no right to talk of summoning any official of any Pakistani agency (for clarification on the Mumbai tragedy) and its attitude was against diplomatic norms.
“It is a prerogative of Pakistan to decide at which level to cooperate with India in the probe on the Mumbai incident,” Dawn quoted Rehman, as saying.
Islamabad, Sept 17 : Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Tuesday became the first parliamentarian to be elected chairman of the Kashmir Committee of the National Assembly.
Rehman’s name was proposed by Aftab Hussain Shah Jilani of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and seconded by Sheikh Aftab Ahmed of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz.
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said, “Maulana Fazl’s election is part of a power-sharing formula under which the JUI-F, which has one minister in the federal cabinet, would get two more ministries and a post of parliamentary secretary.”
Islamabad, Sept: Rebutting media reports that the British government had declared Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman as persona non-grata (an unwelcome person), the British High Commission has said that the Maulana still held a valid visit visa to the UK.
“The British government has not excluded Maulana Fazlur Rehman, nor does it have any plans to do so. Indeed Maulana currently holds a valid visit visa to the UK,” the Daily Times quoted a statement issued by the British High Commission as saying.
Islamabad, Aug 27 : Jamiat-i-Ulema Islam (JUI) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, who has gained bargaining power vis-à-vis the PPP by criticizing its Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari ahead of September 6 presidential poll, has reportedly demanded of the PPP-led federal coalition government to revive Friday as weekly holiday instead of Sunday.
Fridays were declared as weekly holiday by PPP founder Zulfikar Ali Bhutto to appease the religious dominated PNA movement of 1977, but it was later reversed to Sundays by the Nawaz Sharif government in late 1990s.
