ISLAMABAD/KARACHI (Dunya News) – Prime Minister’s Adviser on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah has stated that the government has no intention to be strict with participants in the march announced by the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) in Karachi on Thursday.
In a statement, the former interior minister said that PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif themselves would engage in talks with Maulana Fazlur Rehman since they enjoyed close and cordial association with the JUI-F chief.
Sanaullah said that unless everyone sat together, political stability would remain elusive, adding that the matter needed to be amicably settled.
The JUI-F is holding a protest rally against what Fazl terms “rigging in the general elections” in Karachi at 4pm on Thursday. Ahead of the rally, the traffic police have come up with a diversion plan to avoid jams on different routes.
For the participants of the rally, parking arrangements have been finalised at the Excise Chowrangi, Bagh-e-Jinnah and Mazar-e-Quaid gate. The Numaish Chowrangi road will remain closed while traffic will be diverted to MA Jinnah Road, one of Karachi's main arteries.
