Senate resolution for election delay backed JUI-F stance: Fazl


As the ongoing controversy surrounding general elections shadows the timely conduct of February 8 polls, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has said that the Senate resolution for putting off the electoral process represented his party's stance.

On Friday, an independent lawmaker in the upper house of parliament had moved a resolution seeking deferral of polls in the light of extreme weather and security situation in the country, which was adopted by a majority of 14 senators present in the legislature.

"Sky will not fall if polls are deferred for the betterment of the [security] situation," Fazl, said while speaking in Geo News' programme Jirga before his Afghanistan visit on Sunday, as senior politician continues to raise concerns about the security situation in the country, especially in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Balochistan.

The JUI-F cheif left for Kabul upon invitation from the Taliban-led interim administration in the neighbouring country.

The visit comes at a point when ties between the two countries have gone sour in the backdrop of a spike in terror incidents in Pakistan, mostly claimed by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), a banned outfit.
