Summary JUI-F calls for advisory meeting to discuss Women Protection Bill
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) central secretary information Hafiz Hussain Ahmed has said on Wednesday that the general council meeting of the party will take place in Lahore on March 12-13, reported Dunya News.
According to Hafiz Hussain, the meeting will be presided over by JUI-F chief Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman. He further added that the option to separate from the government can be brought into focus during the meeting.
Criticising the Women’s Protection Bill, Ahmed stated that even the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) rejected the bill. He said that according to the article 230 of the constitution, necessary recommendation before introducing the bill was not sought from the CII.
He added that no consent was sought from JUI-F before making the bill despite the party being an ally of the government. The bill was made only to appease the West, Hussain said.
