Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) top leader Hafiz Hamdullah has categorically said that his party does not support Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) proposed civil disobedience movement.
Speaking on a local TV show, he clarified that no decision has been made to join hands with PTI in any joint campaign.
Hamdullah remarked that if PTI approaches JUI-F for a joint movement, the matter will be considered, but politics leaves room for no absolute certainties.
Criticising PTI’s strategy, Hamdullah warned that the civil disobedience movement would harm PTI itself the most. His comments come in response to PTI leader Asad Qaiser’s claims about ongoing communication with Maulana Fazlur Rehman for a unified anti-government campaign.
Meanwhile, PTI leader Shaukat Yousafzai has threatened to declare a civil disobedience movement from December 14 if the government does not engage in serious negotiations.
Qaiser, in conversation with the media in Peshawar on Tuesday, had said: “We are in contact with [JUI-F Emir] Maulana Fazlur Rehman. We want to launch a joint movement against the government.”
