Maulana Fazalur Rehman said that voting in favour of the bill is out of question
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Maulana Fazal ur Rehman in a meeting with Chaudhry brothers refused to support Army Act amendment bill and said that reconciliation does not work everywhere and at all times.
Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Chief Maulana Fazalur Rehman said that voting in favour of the bill is out of question, however he hasn’t decide to vote in opposition or stay neutral.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman came to the cameras without a media talk program and said, "You all know why the Chaudhry Brothers came, but we will not vote for this law."
Maulana Fazlur Rehman confessed to the divisions in opposition and said that he phoned Shahbaz Sharif and complained that the opposition was not taken into confidence by the PML-N.
He added that there are many ambiguities in the draft law and the urgency with which the legislation is being passed, will create more ambiguity. The government did not discuss the proposed bill with the opposition.
He further said that they haven’t changed their position. If the law can be passed in 6 months, then the assembly can be dissolved and new elections can also be held.
He said that he has informed the Chaudhry Brothers about his position that legislation can also be made by electing a new parliament.
He urged opposition to take a joint stand on this issue.
