Lahore:
As PTI works to bring Jamat Disadvanta-e-Islam-Fazl (Jui-F) into the opposition fold, the party has put its cards on the table and expressed reservations over four-fire Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapurs ‘Dorogatory Remarks’ About Maulana Fazlur Rehman.
Jui-F leader Hafiz Hamdullah came down hard on Gandapur and demanded that PTI spell out whose agenda he pushed and argued that his repeated offensive remarks muddy the political waters.
“On the one hand, Asad Qaiser and PTI’s leadership reach out to form an opposition alliance, while Gandapur on the other unnecessarily throws insults at Maulana Fazlur Rehman,” Hamdullah said.
He urged PTI’s leadership to empty Gandapur and warned that failure to do this could provoke a strong response from Jui-F. “If PTI does not control its members, we will be forced to respond kindly,” he warned.
Hamdullah emphasized that PTI must monitor its members’ statements to maintain a conducive atmosphere of political dialogue.
The development came when JUI-F conveyed its conditions and concerns to PTI with regard to its possible participation in the opposition’s Grand Alliance.
According to sources, JUI -F Leadership has assessed PTI leader Asad Qaiser from the party’s conditions – some of which specifically relate to KP cm Ali Amin Gandapur – before committing to the alliance.
